Meh

Hotel was spotless, staff were fab, only downsides were the bed was unbelievably hard so we barely slept, water pressure in the shower was so low I could wash my hair, and with the weather as hot as it was and no air con in the room it was unbearably hot in there. Purely down to how uncomfortable bed was we won’t book another hotel from this chain.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Property is in a good area for travel and nearby places of interest. Property was not clean, the carpets in the room were filthy, hallways were not clean at all. Staff was friendly and helpful with the exception of Ellison. He is in dire need of cheering up, showed no motivation for anything or anyone at all. He was on his phone when we were having breakfast and just the general aura of this boy was not good. He should not be at the front of house. Breakfast was OK, bit disappointing with quality of the food. The beds were not great but not bad either. Would I stay again? Not sure but probably not

Good stopover

We stayed here for the third time in a few years and on the whole we were happy with it. The receptionist wasn't very friendly on our arrival and we felt unwelcome which isn't usual for here. Although the room had a fan and the curtains had been closed it was still very warm indeed. The fan was so noisy we had to turn it off during the night in order to get to sleep so it was very hot. We took the duvet out of the cover in order to be a bit cooler. The bed seemed smaller in width than I remember it.
