눉The hotel needs a complete renovation and makeover. Get in the Hotel Inspector! The decor is very tired. Stains on carpets. Wrong sized bulbs in wall Lights! Towels not always cleaned. Toiletries andv biscuits not always replenished and we were there for 10 days!

“Will not return”
- • Business trip

눉The room had poor window isolation so during my stay in July it was suffocatingly hot in the room - no air conditioning and impossible to open window. Shower was one of the worst I've seen - difficult to adjust temperature and defected shower-head.
눇Large parking area behind hotel.

“Good central location.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉It was quite a trek to our room on the top floor. Not suitable for anyone with mobility problems. The décor was clean but everywhere was rather dated and tired. A makeover is long overdue. Our room was a bit dark because of the small window as we were at the top of the property. We were originally put in room 48 which had bedside lamps that didn't work (not just dud bulbs!). As there were only 2 working lights in the room it became gloomy quite quickly. However, after querying this at reception we were moved to the room next door within 30 mins.
눇The bed was very comfy and the room was clean. The menu choice in the restaurant was good and the prices were reasonable. The staff were helpful and quickly gave us the option of an alternative room when we queried bedside lamps that weren't working.
