Public areas clean and well presented. Room was spotless but a little tired. Odly we had a table lamp with a round pin plug but no round pin socket. A couple of bulbs were out. Heating too hot so left a window ajar. However would happily stay again.

The bathroom had hair and fluff on the floor on entry. The room was super hot and the windows could not be opened so it was a restless sleep. The shower had less than average flow. The bar do not allow drinks to be charged to the room. So you need to carry a card. Overall at best an ok experience but not good value.

I found the room was clean tidy and adequate at the price point unfortunately there was a problem with the heating and it was an extremely cold night. I was provided with a small electric heater but it wasn’t the best night for me. Also probably my own fault but I didn’t realise until my booking confirmation that there was a separate charge (£15) for parking.

Staff were friendly and helpful and the old part of the hotel where we stayed was full of gorgeous oak panelling and high-ceilings rooms with cornicing. Our room (one level higher than standard) was clean and spacious with a large bathroom and facilities including hairdryer and iron. The sausages and bacon at breakfast were better than the budget offerings in many hotels. The shower we easily the best I’ve ever had in a uk hotel. Only gripes were a tv that only worked on certain channels, and no soap in the bathroom. I found the mattress and pillows too soft, but that was a personal preference and not the view of my roommate. Given the price of the room, great value.

The hotel and room itself were lovely and clean. Great parking, quick and easy check in. Hotel location excellent for what we needed. Extremely disappointed that we were not made aware upon check in that there would be a rather loud party going on until past midnight, all of which could be heard from the room so unable to get to sleep until early hours of the morning. Also feeling let down about the breakfast, at £13.50pp I would have expected a lot more variety and availability however everything was almost run out and very limited options both cooked and continental, definitely not worth the money.

Room was dusty, dated and very 90s decor. Heating was not working, could not call reception as phone was not working. The thermostat fell off the wall when I touched it (held on with white masking tape). Iron was dusty, room was cold without heating but reception gave me a small fan heater which was too noisy to keep onto sleep which meant I woke up freezing (it was during a cold snap and was frosty outside).
