Room was clean but dated. Staff all friendly. But we have stayed here twice now and both times there has been a lot of noise in the early hours of the morning. Latest stay the noise was from a domestic which resulted in one person banging on a door for 30/40 minutes at 2.30am

Room was clean and tidy and quite spacious but otherwise basic. The TV was appallingly small for an hotel. The doors are clunky and you can hear other doors closing - which is annoying. Breakfast was okay. Staff were friendly enough. The hotel is looking a bit tired but I understand that it’s going to be renovated in Nov 2026.

Disliked: Amenities
Room was not as advertised in the photos. Very tired room and furniture. Bed wasn’t very comfortable at all. There was only a Soap dispenser by sink and shower. No other items provided (shampoo, conditioner, lotion) as expected in a hotel. Car park view was disappointing. We booked room only so can’t comment on breakfast. Decided not to frequent the bar or restaurant. There’s a £6 per night charge for parking. I only met the person at reception, who appears quite fed up.
