OK but not great

A decent place with good room amenities and a comfortable bed. The breakfast buffet was tasty with lots of options. The carpet in my room was in need of a good shampoo, it was not very clean. The staircase was in similar condition. And while I appreciate being energy efficient, entering a dark hallway (lights are motion activated) on my floor when coming and going made me uncomfortable.

Good val

We had a spacious room on the ground floor with a large bathroom. The place was spotless and reasonably well equipped. Coffee, tea and hot chocolate supplied with cookies. There was also a hairdryer and an iron. No fridge or air con although the windows do open slightly but it is close to a busy road so this was quite noisy. One thing irritated me was the mirror was too far away from the sockets when using the hairdryer. We didnt have interact much with the staff but they were friendly and polite when we did.

Welcoming, easy check in on a late arrival which was great. The hotel was reasonable priced. The rooon and bathroom was lovely and clean, had evertrhing we needed. The only negative thing to write is you can hear people walking around on the floor above you. Which felt quite loud from being asleep. Apart from that, everything else was fantastic.
