Good hotel, reasonable pricing, kind staff! Nice hot tub however seems like jets weren’t working. Could do better on cleaning the bathroom, small pieces of hair on the bathroom floor and filthy soap dispensers with toothpaste splatters on the mirror. Bed was nice and clean though

Needs a refresh.

Check in was excellent, very warm welcome. . Loads of parking and a very friendly receptionist found me a room so I could check in early. Room was very dated and needs redecorating. Broken tiles in bathroom, terrible tap, old worn carpet and lots of damage to walls. Bed was clean and comfortable. My room on third floor was above the loading dock so at 11pm I was woken by wheelie bins being loaded, then from around 6am, noisy trucks were arriving with load reversing signals and general unloading noises. Walls in room were very thin, as I could near a baby crying and general snoring. A minor hiccup on check out as the receptionist tried to charge me for someone else’s room, but she apologised and it was resolved within 5 mins.
