It’s a decent enough 3 star property in good location in town centre with car park. My bedroom was good standard. The building itself perhaps a bit dated. No issues for me with stay. Served it’s purpose well

Unfortunately, my recent stay was quite disappointing. The soap dispenser in the bathroom was completely empty, leaving only a rusty frame, and the floor was visibly dirty with a yellow tint. When I attempted to make a cup of tea, I found the mug in the room was unclean and had to go back to reception to request a replacement. To make matters worse, the milk provided had expired back on 27/10/2024. Under the previous ownership, the quality and attention to detail were significantly better. I truly hope the current management will bring the standards back up—or ideally, raise them further. As it stands, I don't see myself returning.

We stayed the night before going to the airport so we didn’t have to get up quite so early. Check in was easy and painless. Room was basic which is fine. TV didn’t work and channels wouldn’t tune. You could hear the door banging and people walking above quite loudly. Our room was ground floor and window looked onto the road which wasn’t too bad. Room was relatively clean - defo some DIY needed in areas. Main reason for low score was that water came through the ceiling on several occasions through the night. Luckily it was not over the bed but we were concerned that the cracks were worsening. We had to pile towels on the floor to stop the sound. We weren’t provided with a number to call in an emergency so had to wait until morning to report.

Beware!

This property is dirty! I mean dirty! My unit looked nothing like the photos. The water heater for tea was full of scum, the toilet had poop smears, the floor seemed like it was soft and about to give way, the lamps didn’t work, the soap container for the shower was completely empty, we got 1 towel to share between 2 of us, the sink didn’t drain, there was no top sheet for the tiny bed. I would have left but we just traveled 10 hours.

This property was booked at the very last minute and very late in the evening after being let down badly on a previous booking. They were very accommodating and the staff were very friendly. No complaints about the room or the hotel in general, and felt they rescued from a very difficult situation. Thank you!

Unfortunately the room i was given had not been cleaned, so necessitated a change of room at 11 pm. There was also an issue which delayed breakfast by aroud 45 mins. The room also allowed a lot of noise in from the road outside.
