It was a very tired hotel with the bare essentials , no plugs near the bed and sadly we had some noisy neighbours that came in at god knows what time…. Breakfast was self service which was fine … but no staff about….on the plus there was plenty of hot water 👍

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My wife and I had an extremely disappointing experience at this establishment. The amenities were lacking; the bar had no draft options, the ice machine was out of service, and the overall environment was uncomfortably hot due to poor ventilation. Outside, the premises were in disrepair, with potholes and fallen signage contributing to an unkempt appearance. The room itself was far from satisfactory, featuring outdated and worn furniture, torn curtains, and debris such as dead insects on the window sills and skirting boards. The breakfast offerings were underwhelming, with the orange juice machine producing a thick sludge rather than fresh juice. There were no designated tables, and again, the lack of ventilation made the dining experience unpleasant. The most soulless place ever. Overall, I cannot recommend this place and advise potential guests to consider alternative accommodations.

Stayed with a colleague whilst working in the area.Dont be put off by the reviews.Rooms are a little dated but if your looking for a decent double bed , clean bathroom with powerful hot shower, smart tv , you can’t go far wrong staying here.I work up and down the country and have stayed in far worse hotels for a lot more money.Walking distance into town too.

After arriving and seeing the state of the property and checking out the room we decided not to check in as we were not happy at all as it didn’t look anything like the pictures shown when booking either on the inside or outside aspects of the hotel
