Decent hotel, thought it needed some modernisation considering it’s a 4 star hotel. The front desk was nearly empty most of the time, so need to go and search for people when I needed help.

Stay here. It’s a good hotel.

There was an issue with my original room, nothing major. I was happy for it to be rectified but the check in staff immediately moved me to better room. All the staff were friendly and accommodating. Food was very good, both dinner and breakfast. Would stay here again.

When I arrived at 8pm after a long journey, I was advised by reception that the kitchen woudl be open until 9:15pm. Unfortunately this was not the case and it closed at 8pm which meant that I could not have dinner, although I was offered a packet of crisps! The room was clean, but the net curtains were torn. Breakfast was nice, but overall the stay was not as enjoyable as it could have been.

Our room was 23. Very noisy. We paid quite a bit for the room but felt it wasn’t worth it. The furniture was dated. No hair dryer in room. The room was in the old part of the hotel. The wedding venue part was beautiful, as was the lobby. There were negatives but overall I would stay here again. Just in a different part of the building
