The room was clean and comfortable although had a slightly musty smell and was very cold until we worked out the heating. Amenities in the room were reasonable for their age. Staff were friendly and snacks being available in reception (drinks, crisps & fruit) was much appreciated.

Poor heating in the room,, could not walk around the bed. Bedsheets were crisp and decent quality. Room carpet tired and needs replacing. Bathroom body wash dispenser did not work effectively. Reception staff polite and efficient. Overall this is a 2.5 star hotel

Good location but the hotel itself is in a really poor condition. Rooms and general hotel need renovating drastically to warrant the 4 stars as it’s not like the service is 4 star either. Disappointing for the price paid.
