Disliked: Amenities
This property is in need of significant maintenance. As we walked through the front entrance, we noticed that part of the roof above the entryway was missing, which made for a poor first impression. The front desk clerk was friendly and welcoming, and we appreciated the kindness shown during check-in. Unfortunately, the room itself was disappointing. It lacked basic amenities, and the balcony was unkempt. Even more frustrating, the balcony door/window was completely locked and could not be opened, so there was no way to get fresh air into the room. The one positive aspect of our stay was that both the room and the bathroom were clean, which is why I rated the stay as "okay" rather than lower. Overall, while the staff was courteous and the room was clean, the condition of the property and the lack of maintenance would prevent us from staying at this hotel again.

Comfortable Stay

Comfortable overnight stay. Good parking available and the hotel is situated conveniently just on the edge of the town centre. There was a nice selection at breakfast of cereals, yoghurts, jams etc. Nice addition of an iron/ironing board in the room rather than have to go and ask for one.

Great situation for the shops just a 5/10 minute walk away. Parking at the hotel is good. Rooms spacious and comfortable and clean the only thing that is a let down is the bathroom it’s a bit outdated found the shower slippy and no where to put your shower gel and shampoo. Breakfast is very good with plenty of choice and full cooked breakfast is very good and hot. Didn’t have dinner was not keen on the menu but it might be good for others but not me. Staff are very nice and friendly. Very welcoming.

Wasn't terribly quiet as on a busy street near a bar. Decent quality food and portion sizes. Good choice for cereals and cooked breakfast. Toilet tank was broken, towel racks and toilet roll holder broken as well. Toilet didn't flush properly. Room was otherwise in good condition and nicely maintained.

First time staying here and we weren’t disappointed. Room was spacious and airy , bed very comfortable. Welcome pack was good. Shower was great and bathroom was immaculate. My only suggestion was to add a handrail inside the shower and maybe a small corner shelf for shampoo, conditioner , shower gel it’s much better for someone disabled. Breakfast is a 10/10 cooked well and tasted amazing full cooked breakfast. It’s actually situated perfectly to travel and see other places from. Parking was free and good. It’s very handy for the train station and the retail park for shopping. We are definitely going back again and we can bring our dog which is an extra bonus for us. I don’t drink but my husband does and felt that the bar would be better with tap beers.

Stayed here for 2 nights as a birthday weekend for my hubby, thankfully had a weekend full of plans and didn't need to spend to much time in the room. Bathroom disgusting, skirting boards full of dust, underneath the sink dirty, (as you could see it whilst sitting on the toilet), shower door didn't close, you think it was going to fall off, rather dangerous if you ask me. There's a gap in the balcony doors, so constant draft through them, that's why the radiators are on full blast. Next person that goes in might find what I found in the bedroom floor, if you look for it, don't know how long it's been there. Hard bed and pillows, I've come home needing to book a massage.
