Lovely decor in hotel, really friendly staff, nice breakfast.
The restaurant was closed I was directed to a great Italian restaurant a few hundred yards away.
Walls are thin and the halls are laminate so every suitcase that’s trundled along the hall outside is like a jumbo jet taxiing past
Lovely hotel. As soon as you walk through the revolving lobby doors it just hits you like wow, amazing.

Nice hotel, pleasant staff, clean and guests are well provided for. A little tired in places but appearances suggest the owners try to keep up with repairs and decoration. Would stay again.
TV needed a lot of tweaking to get it to work.
bathroom shower appalling. NO PRESSURE at all-
Breakfast unmanned for the duration we spent in the restarant. just not a nice experience
Easy parking and location. My room wasn't totally clean but the staff were quick to help and put me in a clean room. Breakfast pretty standard, overall decent stay nothing special but also nothing wrong at all. Wifi only appears to work in the restaurant not in rooms.
Check in was quick and friendly. Ample parking and a good location. The room was adequate and what I expected.

Disliked: Amenities
WiFi not useable, the water pressure in the shower (room 52) is shocking. Better off taking your shower gel out in the rain. Can hear every single thing that happens in the other rooms.

The reception staff were welcoming and helpful. The room was clean and bed comfortable.
Only downside was toilet didn't flush so had to use a bin of water each time to 'flush' the toilet, which was awful.
Staff courteous Room very clean
Only concern,No Bath Math available.
I slipped un bath whilst taking shower
Bruised my back.
Reported to Cleaner%Reception, apparently its not deemed necessary to have one in bath at this time.
clean and tidy staff helpful Only negative we just received a parking fine from Parking Eye while we were in residence which we won’t be paying
Ruining what was otherwise an enjoyable stay !!
