Everything is great apart from accessible showers.
Everything was fine. However, there was some sort of party/gathering outside the front of the hotel, with music and drinking, that I could hear from my hotel room from about 3am to 7am. Not loud enough to be a real nuisance for me, but I expect other hotel guests sleep was affected by it.

Disappointing standards
Disappointed that parking charges introduced since previous stay were not clear when booking, which meant was not best value booking. Corridors and therefore room smelt strongly of cigarette smoke. Bathroom areas of mould around bath/shower area. Although convenient for an event we were attending fell some way short of expectations.
You find out when you get there tgat it is going to cost you a whopping £15 to park your car (despite blue badge). Breakfast in the morning involves ascending around 25 stairs with no lift(not an easy task for a guest with very limited mobility). Couldnt eat the eggs as i didnt have a chisel handy. Server snatched away my slice of toast just as i had buttered it, absolutely will not go again.
Arrived by car on a Friday afternoon and found parking was available but the bays were very narrow (Not good). Booking in at reception was very good and the staff could not have been better, very pleasant and helpful. Lift to room was clean and quick and the rooms air-con was very welcome. The room was clean and well presented but some rubbish from a previous occupant was left in the bin.
The Wi-fi was slow. The toilet seats are not "Soft Close" which was annoying to be awoken with a loud bang through out the night. The sink would not hold water, it wasted water.
To get to the Breakfast Area there are three flights of stairs. The hand rails on both sides were sticky, dirty and made of wood. They would be easier to clean if made of metal. The carpet at the foot of the stairs needs replacing, it has seen better days.
Service was good and very helpful. The croissants were unfortunately very stoggy, even when heated.
Our last comment is that there was a conference being held on the Saturday which meant that when we returned from a ride out the only place left for us to park was on the far side of the carpark. Carpark should be separated with parking reserved for residents in the nearest bays. These could be colour coded for ease on arrival.
The hotel was grim, in an area next to a retail park. It is dated and is nowhere near to a 4 star rating. The sink and bath in our room drained at a snail's pace. The staff are lovely and friendly.
Great service and front desk staff were very helpful.
Room was very clean and spacious,
Lots of food choices nearby,
1 tip would be not to be in a room facing the food restaurants,
We stayed facing this way and over a weekend we had the local youngsters driving the cars at high speed, loud music blasting using the horn and doing wheel spins and donuts until 3am. So avoid staying in a room this side of the hotel.
Maybe weekdays are quieter.
But the hotel it’s self was great and would stay again,
We thoroughly enjoyed our over night stay. Room was exceptionally clean. The bed was enormous and so comfortable. Black out curtains were a bonus.
Everything was tip top.
Our service by all the staff was top class.
Our breakfast was terrific . We had our around 8.15 and it was relatively quiet. There was plenty on offer and all prepared well.
A big thank you to all the staff for the outstanding work they do.

Basic but OK!
Basic hotel but it was great for our one evening stay. Staff were nice. Not sure if parking is free as we got complimentary due to a technical issue at check in. Breakfast was a standard buffet fayre. Don't expect any vegan options etc, but again OK for us £16. 50 per head.
