Disliked: Staff & service
Breakfast was very limited, but cheap. Restaurants were not open which was annoying because it was a major factor in choosing the hotel. I had no car and after travelling all day and being a single female I didn't fancy walking into town for food, therefore had to order takeaway. However, room was adequate and bed was very comfortable so at least I slept well.

Everything was great, we loved the zebra painting in the room and it was a lovely bonus to have a full fridge freezer too. We would recommend for anyone needing to visit for a show at Esquires, as it's really close.

A well run hotel.

Seemed like a well run hotel. The hotel was fine, comfortable enough. It had been decorated on a budget, but that wouldn’t stop me staying here again.
