Very friendly and helpful staff. Room was freezing and no window in room!!! Very strange little room. There was a window which couldn’t open into the inside corridor!
Really large triple/family room, could have got another bed or two in and still had space to wonder about. Comfy bed, good bathroom, breakfast didn't start til 7.30 so had to miss that as I had an early start, however, they also have a restaurant next door, had a very tasty curry. Will be back, not very much onsite parking but plenty of free street parking out front that is free 7pm til 8 am. Will be back if i'm in the area, hopefully not such an early start so I can try the breakfast, hope it's as good as the curry.
Everything was perfectly ok for a reasonable and good value overnight stay - the room was clean and had everything needed but the mattress was very uncomfortable indeed, needs replacing. Sadly I had a poor night's sleep due to mattress being long past its use by date. A shame because everything else was ok.
Was supposed to be a soundproof room but you could hear everything outside of the room including the constant noise of traffic and people talking in the street and outside the room and the shower had only one temperature which was extremely hot and the temperature would not adjust. Other than that the room was clean and the bed was comfortable
The rooms are very spacious and reception and dining area is very nice. We were however made to wait outside for a while before we could get in. In fact another resident eventually opened the door. And there was no apology nor explanation when staff came. The carpets are dirty and the room smelled musty . We slept with the window own to minimise the smell. The breakfast service was good though

Liked: Cleanliness
Friendly staff ..compact but comfortable room. Apparent lots of work.been done ... some details still to go, my blind not working properly. Internet access didnt work. Breakfast like a farce..clearly not had 6 cooked breakfast orders before. Not enough cups; tea, and coffee and water not readily available. Milk for cereal seemed to be a problem. Despite this the staff were friendly they just hadnt planned how to serve.
Very reasonably priced. Very central - near the train station. Staff couldnt do enough for us. The adjoining restaurant was lovely. Very posh and food good- especially as we were in a hurry.
Shower/ loo very clean and swish. Single room warm and you could open the windo. THANK GOD! I hate the major chains who rely on aircon only as it never works all might long and it's noisy and you feel so stuffy in the morning.
Brakfast was fine. I had no complaints and the staff did their upmost to accommodate my....awkward friends. Veil drawn on them, I'm afraid!

Eaten alive
I was absolutely eaten alive by bed bugs, had them jumping all over me in the night.
I registered my car on their ipad at reception, but have still received a fine for staying in the car park. Tried to contact the hotel, but have been completely ignored....
Everything about the hotel was brilliant. The guys down at reception were really helpful and welcoming, if we were staying in the area again I would definitely use them in future!

Disliked: Amenities
I thought my booking included breakfast but it didn’t
I was visiting family, so just required a base. The hotel was ideal and I spent 3 nights/4 days in the area. I would definitely stay at the hotel again, as I regularly visit my family.
The room look like clean, but I can feel some insects on my body when I was sleep and I can see very small insects on my belongings.
Window was very strange, It will hit the body when opened. It will hurt when careless.
No staff stay in reception, customer needs to ring someone to open the entrance door.
Customer need to climb stair from car park to lobby, don't carry anything, it very inconvenient.
The photo that was advertised was ABSOLUTLEY NOT THE SAME ROOM THAT WE HAD - IT WAS A SHOE BOX AND I WOULD RECOMMEND ANYTONE STAYING THERE PLEASE, PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK BEFORE YOU EVEN CONSIDER THIS PLACE
WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT ME TO SaY !
