Birthday weekend

This is the second time at this hotel. The staff are helpful and friendly. The beds while spotless were a little hard and uncomfortable, the breakfast was extra and average, although a variety of cereal and yogurt not much in the way of fruit to add to it , just a little chopped pineapple and nothing else, the cooked breakfast was adequate but lukewarm. I would stay here again.

Staff was very friendly. The property is a little dated. 1970 ish. No individual heat control in the room, just a fan and a portable radiator. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good. Buffet had usual choices expected. Price is reasonable . Buxton Rd is quite busy but did not intrude.

Try somewhere else

The property is severely run down, as soon as you walk into reception you are greeted with a musky smell, the rooms also have the disgusting smell, are very dated and unkept. The sink has a huge crack in the basin and there was one towel for a family of 3. Then in the morning we were rudely awaken at 6AM by the fire alarm going off! Any recommendation would be try find somewhere else because for the money I’m sure you could get something better

Lovely old property and my room was great for the money. One small thing it didn't have a USB socket. This would not normally be a problem because I'd pack an adaptor, but this was an unplanned stay over.
