Clean and comfortable

Room was very clean, tidy and comfortable. I think more could be done for recycling, other brand hotels ask for recyclables like paper and plastic not to be put in the bins and they will be recycled, maybe you could put 2 little bins in the rooms, one for recycling one for rubbish. Breakfast food was fresh and hot, but I was disappointed on the range of drinks for breakfast, I couldn't see any juices, only water, and there was no regular caffeinated tea, only decaffe and green teas.

Breakfast was poor! No vegetarian or vegan bacon/sausage. No mushrooms. I tried to toast three slices of bread, easy piece caught fire - it was hilarious!!! The hash browns were extremely undercooked (light yellow) and cold, so were the baked beans. Only scrambled eggs available; no poached or fried. The room was clean. Awful view. Good shower. No fridge or minibar. The stay was okay but I wouldn't book again.

Just a very average stay

A very average stay. It wasn’t terrible but also isn’t a hotel I’ll likely return to. In the main, the room was clean enough with good bathroom facilities, however, the appearance of what looked like a blood stain on the carpet wasn’t particularly appealing. Breakfast was absolutely packed, struggled to get a table and some items not restocked quick enough. As I’ve said, very average which is what I would have expected.

Parking next to hotel is £32 per 24hrs. There is parking for £15 per 24hrs but that is further away. Family room sofa bed very uncomfortable and receptionist pretty fed up and thought we had asked for the moon when i requested some extra pillows, but bathroom was lovely and clean. Very busy hotel.
