The hotel was fine, although, the room cleaner seemed to run late and resulted in my room not getting cleaned and the free tea and coffee not being replenished. Apart from that it was fine as I use a hotel room as a base to explore my destination. The breakfast was very good and lots of it too.

When I first got into the room (107) I noticed a loud whirring noise outside. On investigation it was coming from a bank of fans directly below the window. I went to reception at around 19:45 to ask of we could be moved, and was told no as there were no other rooms available. The gentleman on reception said it wouldn't be a problem as the fan is an extract fan for the kitchen a d would go off atbaround 21:15. The fans didn't go off and were operating all noghtband into the morning. and ate still.on now. I and my family have hardly slept as a result of the noise.

Mixture of experience. Staff were efficient and friendly. The hotel was clean and had a fairly nice lounge area. The downfall of our stay was the fairly cold temperature in the room caused by a draught coming through the window. This also let in noise and we frequently heard the less sober individuals leaving the Weatherspoons opposite. We felt the room was quite small as we used the sofa bed which meant the two beds took up almost all of the space in the room.

One cold & noisy night!

We stayed in a twin room No 105.. on Friday 7th Feb for one night.. had it been more nights i would need to move rooms..due to noise, draft and cold.. First impressions was ok, but cleanliness / deep cleaning was poor / lacking.. skirting boards were dirty, orange juice spilled down wall from previous guest.. bathroom needs a lick of paint etc.. The beds are very bouncy and soft, not very comfy for me. The one heater in the room was ok but as the inadequate windows let a really bad draft/cold in it really could not warm the toom well.. secondary glazing is required!! And this would help the horrendous noise from the multitude of air con unit fans sat outside the window... They dont stop running so offer a horrible humming noise All Night! We tried to block out the noise and cold draft from the window with the heavy curtains but didnt help.. We didnt do breakfast, as wanted to eat out, so room cost £99 for a cold & noisy night.. advised reception of its problems on check out.. their reply was we will log it!! My advice to the hotel us, if a room receives a complaint a manager should go sleep in it for one night and test it out!! We wont return.. sorry! (Wont let me add photos)
