Lovely big shower, but you wait 10 minutes for the trickle of hot water. They are doing up the hotel, but clearly on a tight budget. Internet tv only, which keeps loosing signal. On the positive, comfortable bed and my room was away from the road and hence very quiet. Warm welcome from receptionist, who walked me to my room, but he did not offer help with my bags.

Got what we paid for

We just needed somewhere to crash as wasn't planning on being in room for long. Room was okay, we were not expecting much and got what we expected. Was not expecting what looked like mould on the bathroom ceiling and for the shower to be impossible to get to a useable temperature. Either freezing cold or scaulding and if by some miracle it did get set to a useable temperature, it changed after about 15 seconds.

Poor pressure

I stayed here a few times (8 or 9). It’s being renovated. The last two times, one I had no towels lucky I had my own as I did not notice until I was out of the shower. And the other the shower was scalding or freezing. This time there was brown water coming out of the shower and the pressure was very poor. I asked for another room which was given instantly. The new room had very poor water pressure also. I needed a shower before I went out for a meal. This was not possible. I packed my stuff and gave the key back. Went for my meal and the booked a travel lodge. Money lost !!!!

Not again unless brought up to a decent standard.

Hotel seemed to have only just been taken over from a closed down establishment. They had no services available and the hotel smelled musty as though vacant for a very long period. Not Very Nice!
