The staff were lovely and very friendly. The location was good being only a 10 minute walk from Gunwarf Quayes. The pool is a great leisure facility. We stayed for 1 night in room 113. The room was clean and spacious however a couple of things were not fit for purpose and needed replacing. The mattress on the right hand side of the bed had a big dip in it and was like sleeping in a hammock - very uncomfortable. There were also crunchy brown bits in the kettle which (despite rinsing them out) kept reappearing each time the kettle was boiled.

A perfectly fine stay for a decent price

I had a comfortable room. The standard sized double was fine for me and comfortable with decent sheets, pillows and duvet. It had a desk as well as a comfortable chair - always a bonus. Generous tea, and coffee with biscuits were welcome. The shower was an older Mira style over the bath but worked OK. I was slightly disappointed that no shower gel was provided. There is a bar of soap and shampoo provided however. Overall a perfectly fine stay for a decent price

The hotel feels like the management team have no intention of investing into the building or its standards. Outdated, over priced, poor condition of rooms and don't get me started on breakfast…….Absolutely shocking unless your a 4 legged dog that hasn’t eaten for a week…..
