Just ok

The price was good for a Sunday night stay. The room was in need of some TLC. The air con unit wasn't sufficient and in recent temperatures we didn't sleep at all. The room was like an oven.

This is an old hotel entrance looks quite grand and in good proximity to the town centre. Room - we had had a king size bed which was comfortable but the room was very tired. Lots of stains on the carpet and furniture. It was warm weather but both windows were sealed for “our safety “. They had air conditioning but not much good. Bathroom - the toilet didn’t flush very well and we were told they would make a note but nothing done while we were there lots of black mould around fitting needed a good scrub and dent in the bath tub filled in. Breakfast finished early 9am and wasn’t the best. Staff appeared pleasant and friendly but don’t think we would return.

Poor cleanliness

The Hotel location is great. However the room was very poor. It was dirty with cobwebs and dust. The carpet was badly stained. The usb sockets (2) for I phone charging did not work. Some staff are friendly, others not so. Very hit and miss as to who you deal with. Will not return.

Sealed windows meant totally dependent on air conditioning that didn’t work properly. In the heavy temperatures this made for a very uncomfortable nights sleep.

Poor hotel in need of major refurb

Room was roasting hot (no air con), room was dirty and dusty, bathroom was tiny and to open the shower/bath glass door you had to squeeze by the toilet. Windows only partially open.

Tired hotel

The staff were good, but young. This is an older hotel and it is bound to have a few tatty edges. I had a lovely time there but in my heart knew this was a declining set up. A McDonalds chip lay on the floor in the lift at the beginning of my 7 day stay. It was still there when I left. Breakfasts were nice.

Will do for a cheap overnighter

Check in was great as I was able to do this earlier than normal and the staff were friendly. The room however, whilst comfortable, was quite dated in places and needs attention. Cracked and broken tiles in the bathroom and a hot water tap that was not connected properly.

Extremely poor service, reception rarely manned, dated rooms in desperate need of refurbishment. Rooms not cleaned whilst staying and towels had to be requested. As for breakfast this was a total joke, items missing from breakfast as they ran out early and attitude of the restaurant staff was disgraceful. On raising the complaint to receptionist, it was talking to a brick wall, no acknowledgment of the issues we raised. Definitely won’t be staying here again.
