Parking very easy and lots of spaces. Breakfast was ok for the price, plenty of choice and quality was good, but long waits for the food to be refreshed. No water pressure in shower, terrible, I complained, but was told that all rooms are the same. Room was clean and tidy and good for sleeping.

Disliked: Staff & service
Arrived 15 mins before our check in time to be told we couldn't check in until 2 which was acceptable but the room was not ready at 2 and still not ready at 3.We was told it was fully booked the night before and they only had 3 cleaners to do the rooms(poor excuse)The reception area had many people experiencing the same thing.The bloke that was on reception was also the person that was managing the bar as we waited for our room.He clearly can't be in 2 places at the same time so many were getting frustrated at it being undermanned. When we finally got to our room the code wouldn't work so i had to go and rectify this.There was a stain where a toothbrush had been and dirt around the tap which was easy to remove.There was no toilet roll holder only a bracket where it was.Breakfast wasn't very warm but it was ok. This hotel looks very nice which is a shame but it is definitely needs more staff and extra care in certain places.

I asked to be moved which we were eventuality at 2 pm the next day . Absolute joke from start to finish the place is poorly run . No managers in on a weekend .

Lady with curly brown hair on reception had a very poor attitude very abrupt and not welcoming in any way. No advice i.e. internet code etc just heres your keycard! Couldnt get in my room as keycode looked like two 66 but apparently were two 55 hand written. Had to go back down to reception were again was looked at with distain but fortunately the more receptive blond lady helped me out. Room was tired in need of full refurb especially bathroom. Hotel in general looks like it needs full make over with staff that understand customer service basics!!!
