Helpful staff, tired outside but nice inside. It was a neat clean room but the Ventilation is a problem in the room though. Breakfast was great, husband had an omelette and I had smoked salmon eggs Benedict and well worth the upsell price it was wonderful. The barman Mark, was good and he was there the following morning at breakfast... More

The staff were friendly and welcoming. The only thing that I would mention would be the road noise, but due... More

Despite a frosty reception when we arrived early, our stay turned out to be a nice one. We had booked on a deal and chose the hotel based on its location. As others have mentioned, it doesn't look special from outside, but the room was nice and more importantly, clean! Only takes around 15 minutes to walk to the centre... More

The room on the second floor was adequate and clean.We had a 2 night stay and had a late lunch on our first day and breakfast on our last morning. Lunch was only a plate of sandwiches(our choice) but were delicious,... More

The hotel looks tired from the outside and this theme carries through into the rooms which have a distinctly eighties feel to them!! Despite this, they are very clean and the price we paid meant I still felt we had got a real bargain + the onsite gym and pool is a definite bonus. We also had dinner at the... More
