Lovely clean hotel, our room was amazing, great price with breakfast too. Only issue was that it was kinda hard to find the hotel as it's tucked in the corner of the street, that and the cheap toilet roll. Really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Very clean, comfortable hotel. The staff were really helpful and friendly. The room was very nice with a very comfortable bed. The only downside was that at breakfast on both days of my stay, I was given a mug with a large chip in the rim. I overheard other guests mentioning this as well.

It is an OK hotel. It has seen better days, as I thought it looked a bit tired. The staff was very polite and helpful. Unfortunately, air conditioning did not work in my room.

Lovely, spacious room (the one in the picture). The only issues were that the desk lamp didn't work and there was no shampoo in the shower - but only minor things really and easily fixed I hope after I post this! Otherwise excellent

Don’t judge a book by its cover

Arrived early at what appeared to be a rundown hotel from the outside, the staff went out their way to get the room ready, bar and restaurants was amazing, the room had few minor issues that could be fixed with some TLC bed was comfortable. Continental and full English included in a price that was fantastic value 2 star price 4,star facility’s

Beautiful hotel once inside, but the outside area was disappointing. The area looks like its in the middle of a rejuvenation so hopefully that will add to the hotels appearance.the rooms were comfortable we had a suite, which was comfortable and clean. During the night we were woken up by cars revving their engines up the street.

This is a lovely hotel and the staff were all amazing from check in to check out. The restaurant is a curry house basically but the quality is excellent. I stayed on a Saturday night and was facing onto the Main Street. The locals kept me entertained with their night out but as I had an early start it was not ideal. The room was clean, facilities were good and everything worked. A good choice.

It was very noisy and there were young people outside shouting, playing loud music from their cars and fights were breaking out from the bars and pubs around us of which we didn’t know were around us.x The receptionist was quite abrupt and rude when we checked in and the next day when we went to breakfast she was there to check us in for breakfast and had the same attitude. Parking was ridiculous! It was a tiny triangle of concrete next to the hot that could fit about 3 cars. The best thing about our stay was the breakfast.

The rooms are beautiful clean modern well decorated and fresh. The breakfast is a complete letdown from the coffee machine to the cereal choices to the toaster. The cooked breakfast was cooked well but the choice of sausage was dreadful, clearly the value range. If I’d stayed more than one night I’d have gone out for breakfast and coffee. Oh and the tv didn’t work correctly. I’d stay again for the room and the value but go out for brekkie.
