This is a classic case of fading grandeur. Firstly, there is very little parking (4 cars) so if you arrive when these are taken you are directed to a secure multi-story carpark. This can be expensive as it charges until 6pm, then there is an overnight charge (£7:50) and a third charge after 8am. Cost me nearly £15. Then the rooms are tiny. Our double room had only 1 chair ... there was no room for a second one! We didn't eat there as there is a Wetherspoons 5 minutes away. One of the staff had very little English. Yes, it has been a grand place but it is now living on its laurels. Better can (easily) be found.

The hotel was central and close to town centre.All the staff were very polite, courteous, and helpful. I was blown away by having a 'bath' in my standard room. Also, having a 'Key' and not a card entry was a nice touch. Unfortunately there's was never a dedicated staff atthtb

Room has no air con. Altho there is a unit in room hotel confirmed they don’t have aircon. Bathroom has no fan so smells from going to loo for a poo stay. Breakfast omelette was dry and filling limited and everything self service except for the cooked breakfast . Water in rooom was nice touch if you buy a drink from bar you have to pay. They didn’t tell me this until I was walking up the stairs to go to my room

Needs a revamp!

The reception is lovely but that’s where it ended. The rooms need some re-decoration. The A/C does not work and was extremely hot. Both bedside lamps did not work and also one in the bathroom. Breakfast really was poor- food quality and over cooked eggs, not great when you’re having eggs Benedict and the eggs are hard boiled! Not really sure this is a four star hotel. Staff however were friendly and polite!
