The room was a little tired, there were a couple of issues that were off putting, it is a little strange to have no luggage rack or anywhere to put things other than the desk. There was an unusual smell it wasnt a bad smell but it wasn't good either. I hate to be negative, we reported a couple of faults and i think if we hadn't encountered them we might have had a different view of the place. The staff are lovely, Suzanne the night manager was lovely and so helpful. The chap in the restaurant who I think was the the manager was nice as well. We had lunch and it was pleasant enough and the price is similar to the rest of the area for eating and drinking.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A suitable accommodation for families but not for couples or solo travellers. The area isn’t the most convenient (but only a 10 min walk to the train station). The staff didn’t reign in loud children as they played on the restaurant floor or stop them from running (parents fault too). During check in I needed to wait about 20 minutes in the restaurant area to be attended to. Overall, wont be back or recommend it to others.

We were unable to have breakfast at the hotel as there was only one member of staff on duty (not her fault!). The queue was huge, everyone was waiting ages to get there orders taken and everyone was sitting waiting on their food. We left as after 20 minutes we hadn’t even given our drinks order. They need more staff on to make it run smoothly.
