Room was extremely small, designed for a single bed only. i Pulled bed in front of door to get around it. Situated this side of gents shower. What a noise of water pipes. I think it’s a workers pub. The hotel itself for meals, drinks etc and staff is fantastic. Front of house would make you believe the rooms would be decent. Photos do not show a true picture.

Rooms are right above a pub and mini casino. There are live bands playing loud so check their schedule in case you need a quiet nights sleep. Bathrooms are shared amongst all the rooms - no private bathrooms! Picture show nice new bathrooms but they must be the public ones downstairs for restaurant! They were not for guests upstairs staying the night. Very outdated, old carpet smell; small beds, broken trim, etc… it’s cheap for a reason- if you need a good nights sleep spend the extra and find something else.

Good Value

The room was spacious enough and had a huge bathroom.The shower was easy to use and had good hot water and pressure. The bed was comfortable. Also, it was easy access to the hotel bistro to have a good meal.

Unfortunate circumstance

Air conditioning was massively leaking and unfortunately due to the timing being Friday late afternoon a technician was unable to attend. However the staff were very kind in providing assistance and also gave a little compensation for the inconvenience caused.

You get what you paid for and all I needed was a bed. So I thought it was perfectly priced and the food in the restaurant downstairs was great.

All in all a pleasant stay. Beds were very comfortable and linen was fresh and clean. Great lounge and kitchen facilities/adequate for travelers. Cleanliness relates to state of doors and stairwell - to touch icky. Cannot fault the staff. Unfortunately both our fan and air con weren’t working. We were moved to a similar room with no issues at all. Other comments have noted noises but apart from some light highway noise (our room was on the front) we had a good night sleep. Staff were brilliant. Parking out the back. Arrived to late for dinner but seemed very popular.

Parking is only available at back of Hotel which is not accessible before 10am and after 10pm on Sunday nights. It is a fair distance to walk around the back of hotel to car if downstairs is closed to back car park. Bad weather would also be challenging in this instance. Also two flights of stairs to rooms might be challenging to people with mobility issues. Loud music till around midnight downstairs on Friday and Saturday nights can clearly be heard upstairs in Room 11.

The photos of the room I booked did not even closely resemble the room we were allocated, eg size of the room , our bathroom fixtures and our bed was hard up against the wall with only space to walk through to the bathroom so there were no side tables or bedside lamps as per the photos which enticed us to book .

We stayed for one night and can’t complain at all. Our room with en-suite was clean with crisp linen. Bathroom and shower is huge and spotless. The shared kitchen has everything you need. Food and drinks is available at the bistro area, very handy.
