    The evening menu was somewhat strange and had few 'healthy options'.

    The very friendly staff and the great breakfast were definitely plus points.

    Very dated hotel, lack of lights in the room. Our room was facing the car park so had to keep curtains drawn to avoid being seen by everyone. Strange sockets in the room.

    Very helpful staff and the restaurant served good food

    Booked three rooms for a group six adults. Some rooms are still a bit dated but it did not spoil our stay. Nice hotel with a restaurant bar attached good food.

    Great location lovely polite helpful staff. Our room 39 was large and very comfortable.

    The hotel is in much need of a revamp. VERY DATED It felt like my granny's house 20 years ago. Nothing modern at all. Nothing like the website pictures at all.Sorry, there was WiFi...paint work was poor, decor awful, furniture plenty off but very dark and dated. Beds miss matched, and curtains didn't reach the window sills properly, so lots of light came in. Windows of poor quality as all noise travelled through very easily. Carpets felt and looked dirty. Able to hear other residents very clearly. I didn't know until after I booked that it was pet friendly which I didn't like but went with it and actually the animals weren't a problem as such but hairs and smell i didn't like. We didn't eat in the hotel for this reason. We were only at the end of the corridor from reception, but no phone was available for contact with reception. The key fob was a piece of wood, so we had to leave at reception as it was too big to carry with us. All windows in doors were very dirty with hand marks, etc, which was a shame as I felt this was an easy clean and the 1st thing I noticed on entry. The luggage storage room was just stuffed full of mess. I was glad I didn't have to leave my bag there. On 1 morning, there was an open door to another room across from us (15, i think), and our hearts fell as this room had a major face lift and looked really nice. It's much needed the rest of the way through.

    IT WAS CLEAN. The fact that I was offered and able to pay for an early check-in. 12pm instead of 3 pm, but we arrived at 9 am due to early flight times to drop our bags in and were able to check in then as our room was ready. Staff were pleasant/helpful. We didn't pay much for 3 people for 2 nights, and due to my health, they were able to fit us into a ground floor room. Because our room/beds were clean and we were on a last-minute weekend, we made do. I definitely would not be returning for another stay unless major changes happen. Prices in the bar were reasonable. Good bus links to city centre.

    Good night's Sleep - Good Breakfast

    The heaters didn't work (didn't report this because luckily we didn't need them). Lighting in the room was terrible, it was dark and no main light available in the main area. The room was tired and had some areas of the decor needs attention. The toilet seat was wonky, fine once you were aware but if you sat on it without knowing you felt like you were going to fall off.

    The staff are always very welcoming, the lunch and breakfast were excellent, we both had a good nights sleep. So all basic bases were covered well.

    We had a superior room which was not worth the money. The mattress on the bed badly needs replacing. The rest of our party’s accommodation of double rooms much better value. Hotel could do with renovation and a good bit of maintenance

    The bed linen and towels good. The night staff Menna, was very pleasant and accommodating. The house keeping staff were pleasant and efficient. One of our party left an item of jewelry behind in their room and we were notified straight away which was very impressive

    Noise from road traffic at the front of the property was bad and made it difficult to sleep. on a previous stay we had a room at the rear of the hotel which was a lot quieter.

    There was a good selection on the breakfast menu.

    Room was very tired! Everything clean but really dated and basic. Carpet and divan base looked like they had been around a very long time. On two occasions I had to ask reception to help unlock the bedroom as there was a “technique” to unlocking the really old door lock.

    Breakfast was excellent for the price. Staff at checkin and at breakfast were very accommodating and welcoming. Very helpful. Location was good, easy to get into town centre for meeting on the morning, but prices were lower as not in city centre. I had everything I needed but the room definitely needs a refurbishment soon, all lovely otherwise. Free parking, plenty hot water.
