the first rrom we were shown was very dated the bath had large black specks in it we asked to change rooms. the second was better however it stunk of smoke and we went back to reception and they said they would send somebody to have a look but couldnt change the room again . we had an uncomfortable night i could smell smoke on the bedding and started to think that the bedding hadnt been changed/ the next morning i complained to reception and she said somebody would call me on tuesday this has not happened. compared with other hotels we have booked recently with you this was extremely dated and very poor value for moneuy

Breakfast was cooked very well Down at heel, scruffy, worn out, threadbare carpets, chair with the seat fallen through, wretched beds and horrible heavy duvets. The whole place is tired and worn out. Best Western used to be a guarantee of real quality. This was little better than a backpackers hostel.

Reception Staff very helpful. Good location for event I needed to attend. Rooms were furnished nice and bed was comfortable. Didnt like the glassed corridor walk to rooms, reminded me of school not a hotel. Restaurant had no atmosphere. I felt apologetic for eating there, as no other people in when we arrived to eat at 8.30pm. One other person came into eat about 15 minutes later.

It is a very convenient location with plenty of parking. The hotel was in need of renevation and judging by my room this is now happening. My room and bathroom were newly decorated in a very tasteful way. It was nice to have a decent television.

Easy to access, free parking and Wifi. Tea coffee in rooms and biscuits were replaced when used with various selections. Bar meals were actually excellent and far better than I was expected also reasonably priced. Staff were courteous within the bar and breakfast rooms and efficient at reception. Rooms were clean and tidy with fresh towels daily. This hotel is my top choice for this area particularly for business use but would recommend the executive rooms The decor a little tired

Despite the look on the outside, I was very pleasently surprised by this hotel. I stayed in the Executive Suite and it was all modern, clean, with every possible facility needed for 1 night stay. The Staff were all very helpful and Breakfast service was very good too. Staff came to the table to ask if everything is fine or if I wanted any more coffee etc. I can only recommend this hotel and I will be staying there again when I am in the area. I guess the only little negative point is the Exterior of the Hotel, but there isn't much that could be done about that.
