Brilliant place to stay for family of 4 adults! Even had a microwave and fridge in the room, and plates and bowls and cutlery. Wasn’t expecting that! Really good value for money with 3 proper beds (not sofa beds)! Would definitely recommend. Really friendly guy checked us in.

Good service helped this basic, tired hotel. Looks though it may have been great in the 1990’s. In saying that, it’s fairly priced, cheap even and the customer service is good. It also gets additional praise for the one tap bar ( fosters ). Ok for work digs, don’t take the Mrs.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The sink system does not sink, the ceiling does not look right and the paint is chipped. Extremely small furniture like table chair and everything. The housekeeper knocking the door like I owed her money, I told her I need more time to prepare to leave and she was keep knocking, terrible experience. I won’t come here again.

The staff of the hotel were very friendly and helpful. The dining breakfast staff was excellent. The hotel looks and feels very '70s, and really needs to be updated.

Horrible stay
The room was cold and the central heating is on a time that the hotel owner can change. The windows were single glazed, droughty and ill fitting ie rattling in wind. House cleaning every 5 days or on request!! The so called hotel is actually two building away from the main hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness
Not great
Hotel feels very dated. I stayed in the small building at the rear of the hotel. The entrance to this building was grubby. Room had microwave and small sink and feidge which was great as restaurant options were very limited. Breakfast was good and nicely cooked. Not great but not terrible
