car park isnt the easiest to find if your not from the area, staff very friendly and rooms were nice and clean. Not sure on all the mirrored surfaces, takes a while to get used to them and the sliding toilet door not sealing makes privacy limited.

Good location for town centre, station, etc. Good, clean and functional rooms. Comfy bed. Hotel has a nice bar for a drink before going out. Decent selection at breakfast. Only negative - the scrambled egg was truly nasty! I have never tasted egg like it; it tasted like it was made of powder, very unpleasant. Good hotel, good location - just avoid the scrambled egg!
