Staff were lovely and helpful. Room was spacious and beds comfy but too many thing's wrong with facilities. Two TVs but neither worked as had no signal. Big bathroom but shower didn't work- no water supply. There was a bath but no time for the 3 of us to use it. Sink had poor water supply. Lighting poor and ceiling lights badly positioned.

A very peaceful weekend break

It was very quiet and comfortable. We only saw one other soul during our stay, a man who briefly emerged from a doorway to give us our room key. Further staff communication is indicated by mobile phone numbers sellotaped to doors and other surfaces. The extractor fan in the bathroom didn't work and the room was rather stuffy in the heatwave - a small fan helped a bit. We had a very nice breakfast at Boston Tea Party, a few metres away.

We had to phone for someone. Sadly, check-in was slow in waiting for someone to come and attend. Basic room which AA would give 2 star rating. Photos online of parking shows tarmac but its actually pebbled. It is clean and a fan waa supplied. Plenty of tea & coffee in the room. Easy walking distance to city centre for utilita arena and plenty of places to eat and drink, which are open very late

Arriving at the door with a phone number to ring isnt the warmest of welcomes. Given key and found room in a lovely building. Room was large, good wifi, has parking, close to a big Morrisons, lots of positives. No breakfast offered, did try the food in evening. Far too salty and expensive for what it was. Big homeless problem local. Would stay again.

Disgusting!

I don't know where to start...I can only presume that any positive reviews or ratings of these premises must clearly be based on the restaurant rather than the rooms. Everything in this room was filthy. There was evidence of vermin, cockroach traps under the bed, broken sink, torn curtains, the windows do not shut. Smashed windows seen on the outside of the building. The only evidence that this was the same property as the one advertised on the website was the blue piano in the entrance. No staff available after 9pm. Absolutely no way is this a 3 star property. Avoid!
