It was an ok stay
The hotel could do with some updating and modernisation
Was greeted very briefly when first arrived, but not at breakfast or when we left

Breakfast service was good but poor services because the online description of the facility that influenced my booking was misleading and did not match the room provided upon my arrival and I had security concerns.

The location is a bit out of the way and it could be cleaner, but for the price I am not going to complain. There is an electric kettle and a microwave available in the breakfast room.

The location was ok. No tea making facilities, no shampoo, scruffy room, sagging curtains, broken fittings. Warm welcome, easy to park, taxi arrived on time.

This place was what I could describe as the worst place. They gave my room to someone else and couldn’t get them out and gave me what I could describe as staff quarters no tea coffee I didn’t sleep as I felt unsafe as a lone woman and a member off staff was shouting on her phone most of the night. Keep well away

rooms was nice but the halls was like out the shining, breakfast was awful, don’t book if you want to be feed in the morning, it toast and cereal and the butter and jam had been mixed, probably because of the lack of cutlery
