    Great value, mostly clean although property is old and looks difficult to keep in good order. Nice staff, although one receptionist was very weird, slow and rude to the woman in front of me in the queue.

    The place is very tired and needs a refurb. But I think that's indicated in the pricing.

    Good Value for money. Food was acceptable and enough choice for most.

    The reception staff were not very friendly. It seemed as if they would cause me problems if I had not been able to find my driving licence to show to her. Even though I had several credit cards in my name and used one to pay the hotel bill at checkin even before she gave me a room key. There was a notice by the desk saying that checkout was by 10am and anyone leaving later would be charged at extra £10 per hour up to 12pm. I thought that was a very unfriendly notice and wanted to get extra money from anyone who left the room just a few minutes after 10am

    The room whilst rather basic was clean and totally adequate. There were plenty of clean towels. The public areas have been decorated and are now quite pleasant. I did not have the breakfast because it did not seem to be very good value and used to get bad reviews.

    Evening Receptionist...did not make us feel welcome...felt like we had interrupted the receptionists conversation. They were abrupt and quite rude. Bar staff was non plussed. The Hotel was boiling hot...even with the window open. The room and beds were clean...the bathroom wasnt so clean in that there were other peoples hair on the tiles in the bath/shower.

    Price and Breakfast was good. The morning receptionist was very helpful and friendly. The room was ok, the price was cheap.

    Had to wait to check in, once we got to the reception desk, there was no apology about the wait. Very outdated bedroom. No shampoo/conditioner etc in the bathroom. Clean on the surface, but can see hairs etc on carpet. Boiling hot in the room, even though radiators weren’t on. Cant comment on food, as we didn’t eat there. Unfortunately had the worst nights sleep, as there was riff raff, shouting and swearing outside the hotel and could smell weird around the premises outside

    Nice reception area when you walk in. Spacious family room.

    The hotel was really really dated and needed updating and redecorating especially in the rooms and corridors. Lots of maintenance issue, carpets stuck down with duck tape etc The room had only 2 plug sockets in the room. One had the TV plugged in. We had a family room and in order to charge 4 phones, it was very difficult. The description on the websites does not match the reality. It really is dilapidated and in need of updating. Internet was poor too. The rooms were hot and we had to have the window open all night. In summer I do not know how people would get comfortable as the windows only opened up partially for safety.

    Very very very Cheap compared to other hotels and had a the pool. If you don't mind the negatives, it worth it.
