Room smelt damp and moldy. Asked for tea and coffee to be refilled but it wasn’t. - didn’t ask for the room to be serviced during our 4 day stay - just some extra teabags! Breakfast isn’t great and we were charged in advanced for the full English - even though we didn’t have it every day and we chose lower price options. Parking and location best thing about the hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Overall I was really impressed with the facilities especially for the moderate cost. The room furniture was very minimalist and being a lone traveller of 74 years it would have been helpful to have somewhere to put my travelling case for access to its contents other than on the bed or the floor. The room temperature was also very cold on a couple of occasions.

Near the shopping centre
The cleaning staff were really helpful and friendly. One of the staff helped my husband upstairs with his suitcase as he had a bad back. Check in was a bit of a kuffafle as we arrived during Sunday Roast lunch service and the Reception was located near the end of the tables. You cannot see it from the entrance. Food not so good. The steaks we ordered were really chewy gristly even though we ordered two types of steak and medium rare. The shopping centre is very close as were other restaurants.

Basic sleeping accommodation with almost zero space to hang/store clothes, generally designed a s a one night or very short stay room. Strange fan or extractor noise was somewhat disturbing to sleep, sometimes our room on the 2nd story shook in the night as the 'fan' or whatever was working, very odd. Dining and 'Pub' area was clean, well staffed and with a reasonably varied dinner/lunch menu. Breakfast menu was also varied with options to suit most people and price was competitive. Our cost to stay was just the room, and did not include breakfast so be aware of this but the price of breakfast and the serving hours (2024) were both reasonable and as mentioned competitive. Overall a good experience.
