Great location and staff friendly. But… hotel is tired, very tired. Proudly 1960s and seems has never been updated since. For a one night stay in a good location it’s fine but set expectations to budget not luxury.

Very welcoming staff, good facilities and excellent location. Room decor and fixtures a little 'tired' and could do with a bit of extra tlc but great value for the price paid, snd would use again. Didn't have breakfast, but the smell from the dining area was lovely!
