The breakfast was excellent and the location ideal. However, we had an issue with the AC. The thermostat would not come on. When we complained they claimed that the AC was central and not turned on yet for the season, but all other people travelling with us had AC in their rooms. They offered us a fan. Luckly, the temperature dropped and made it bearable.

The hotel room was dated. With plug in electric radiator as trip hazard by the window. It didn’t really feel like a four star hotel room. But it was clean and the bed comfortable.

The bathroom in the room was dated and worn, in need of some cosmetic work. Could’ve done with simple complimentary items to use while staying, like a robe or tea/coffee/biscuit options. It felt like the price paid for a single night didn’t justify the amenities provided.

Don’t be fooled by the lobby, which makes the hotel look superior. The rooms are dirty and extremely outdated. Premier inn is better quality
Heating in the room wasn’t working so was given a heater
Drawers falling apart
