Clean and tidy with lovely staff, the hotel had decent amenities but could use a lot of updating. But for £72 a night thats acceptable. Food was basic with quite a small menu and the buffet breakfast at over £11 was definitely not value for money. Id go back but wouldnt bother with the food.

Disliked: Amenities
The hotel is in desperate need of an upgrade. The rooms are tired and the general Hotel has a 1970s vibe. The leisure facilities for guests are chargeable, you have to pay £5 to use the facilities which are old and outdated. There is also a charge for a towel and a deposit needed for a key for the locker room.. I was rather disappointed to be honest.

Overall look of the hotel outside and inside is tired, looks like something from the 80s. Evening meal was ok, but the service was extremely slow considering there was only 6 of us in the dining room. The room itself was ok, bed was reasonably comfy, tv was huge but only basic channels even though it had the capability for Netflix etc, it wouldn’t connect to the broadband. Bathroom was very tired, tiles n grouting/sealant round the bath grubby. Went down for breakfast again only a few of us waiting on breakfast and it was slow, coffee out the machine was lukewarm and tasted funny, and the food when it came was horrible, asked for scrambled eggs and it looked like they had mixed some mushed up fried egg through it. sausage and bacon were the cheapest of the cheap, didn’t eat any of it.
