The room was very small and dated. Not very clean Hole in the bath. Shower didn't work. View was horrendous. Used the disabled loo a few times and hadn't been cleaned the whole weekend we was there. Booked with breakfast to be included but didn't receive one. Had to pay extra to park in the hotel car park at £6 per night 😡

They have problems with their POS terminal due to weak signal, thus we had to use the Atm nearby. Its old hotel and walls are really thin.
They try really hard to keep this old place clean and presentable.

The decor is old, shabby and overall not acceptable. Much of the room needed either maintenance or repairing. It was disgraceful.

The room we were allocated was dreary, dark, old, mildew on the lace curtains. I was not happy to stay in the room for the night, we were offered another but it was similar, so chose instead to drive four hours home and cut short our week.
We didn't stay long enough to like anything - however the reception staff were really pleasant.

Check in left a lot to be desired. Receptionist not friendly, we were 15 minutes early for check in. She did not see if room was ready just told us to come back. Bathroom was awful. Shower had not much water flow. The toilet was just about in the bathroom. If you were sitting on toilet nobody else would be able to open door. Bed extremely uncomfortable. Springs squeaked every time you moved. Hotel badly needs some tic. No tourist information and receptionist told us to go out and find the tourist information centre. Staff showed no care for its residents. On check out I was not asked how my stay was, good job too! My advise don't go there expecting much.
The only thing that saved my stay was that the breakfast was ok and the staff at breakfast a little more welcoming

No food after 8pm. They over charged me compared to agreed price from Booking.com and I had to call the manager. Great location but otherwise dreadful.
It's a short walk from the station.
