We have always found our stays at the hotel to be good ones. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The rooms are comfortable, parking plentiful and breakfast offers a good choice of food. The hotel is a busy one and there are signs of wear and tear and so would benefit from a makeover, but that does not take away from it being a hotel well worth booking a stay at. We do recommend this hotel to people.

I liked the convenience of where it was and where I wanted to be. The size of the bed was very spacious and comfortable. The room was very dated and had wallpaper hanging off the wall, the bathroom sink surface was all chipped off and made it look scruffy. There were a number of moths in the room too.

Was not happy with the parking. Had to park around the back of the hotel that was very rundown. No food on our first night. room 309.the walls are like paper. You can hear everything above and below. The hotel needs some serious investment. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Liked: Staff & service
Room on 1st impression looked good but the age of the room is showing. Bathroom is dated with a shower that is as useful as a chocolate teapot. No pressure and impossible to wash off soap past the chest. Had to run the half size bath to do that. The taps were worn out and stains over surfaces. The carpet was worn out in several places. Booked a room over viewing the garden. Great, you could just see the bear garden through the trees. The window was a massive surprise. The surprise being H&S allow it. 1st and the window slides opens 4 feet wide, and has a window seat. No railings to stop anyone falling out the 20 foot drop onto a hard ground below. The food in the restaurant was very limited and half the items were NOT available. What did come out was clearly made by microwave technicians and was more on par with Morrisons cafe that a hotel restaurant. For the price of the room and food, I was highly disappointed with this hotel.
