Room had 2 mugs, both of which were dirty with a strange yellow crusting along the lip and needed a clean. Curtains could do with being blackout, let loads of streetlight in.

OK for a one night stay

We used it as a base for a birthday party that we were attending locally. It was ok for one night but the price reflects the standard.

It's a lovely building. I'm a heavy bloke and really did not get on with the mattress, very 'soft' (old?)... And it was a bit of a squeeze getting past the sink into the shower... But I booked a cheap room!

Tired and shabby but cheap.

Little more than a doss house to be honest. Dirty, smelly rooms with mouldy en-suites. I cut my stay short after developing a chest infection from their mould infested shower ceiling in room 11. They won’t be interested in this review so it’s probably not worth it in the end. But if it stops one person wasting their money in this place, it’ll be worth the effort. The cleaners seemed nice, but not able to deal the frankly Sisyphean task of maintaining these rooms. The sinks are caked in scale, the toilets are in inaccessible positions for the most part for anyone taller than 5 foot and the rest of the room is just so dirty and shabby that’s it seems pointless to even mention it (see pictures instead). The mattresses are without a trace of hyperbole the worst I've ever attempted to lay upon (as I can’t actually say sleep on as there was precious little of that happening). I had to cut my stay short in the end after contracting a chest infection from the active black mould patch on the ceiling of the shower in room 11. Still, it’s cheap. So if you’re prepared to take your very life and sanity in your hands to save a buck (like I thought I was prepared to do) give it a go.

Just stayed for a night so hard to form an educated opinion on the hotel. It was clean, probably could do with some modernisation but at this price it was definitely adequate. The staff and the food were excellent though

Excellent hotel for attending a wedding

Very good location for the wedding and a reasonable rate for the night. Very comfy bed and good shower. The pub lunch was very tasty and excellently cooked, fish and chips and scampi were delicious. The car park at the back was welcome as limiting parking in the town.

OK, the venue is not going to be The Savoy. It is basic an ideally placed to get around the town, which I found very pleasent. Parking is good and no problem. However, parts of the room we stayed in were less than adequate. Draws missing and broken, and then put at the back of the room. The condtion of the furniture was of very poor condition. But, what annoyed and frustrated me the most was there was no remote for the TV. When leaving we asked one of the cleaners where it was, as we may have not found it. NO, they told me it was stolen, but not replaced. Its a shame, as the shower room was very clean. The beds were OK, and the sheets were very clean. Would I stay there again? Yes I would, as the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
