This is a classic case of fading grandeur. Firstly, there is very little parking (4 cars) so if you arrive when these are taken you are directed to a secure multi-story carpark. This can be expensive as it charges until 6pm, then there is an overnight charge (£7:50) and a third charge after 8am. Cost me nearly £15. Then the rooms are tiny. Our double room had only 1 chair ... there was no room for a second one! We didn't eat there as there is a Wetherspoons 5 minutes away. One of the staff had very little English. Yes, it has been a grand place but it is now living on its laurels. Better can (easily) be found.

The hotel was central and close to town centre.All the staff were very polite, courteous, and helpful. I was blown away by having a 'bath' in my standard room. Also, having a 'Key' and not a card entry was a nice touch. Unfortunately there's was never a dedicated staff atthtb

Breakfast omelette was dry and filling limited and everything self service except for the cooked breakfast . Water in rooom was nice touch if you buy a drink from bar you have to pay. They didn’t tell me this until I was walking up the stairs to go to my room

Needs a revamp!

The reception is lovely but that’s where it ended. The rooms need some re-decoration. The A/C does not work and was extremely hot. Both bedside lamps did not work and also one in the bathroom. Breakfast really was poor- food quality and over cooked eggs, not great when you’re having eggs Benedict and the eggs are hard boiled! Not really sure this is a four star hotel. Staff however were friendly and polite!

Average stay, friendly staff, decent breakfast

We had an ok stay. We accidentally got sent to a room that wasn’t made up and we were offered a drink while that was sorted out. The room we did get was ok, but the shower was covered in orange and black mould, not just in the corners but the grout throughout. Otherwise the service was great, the staff were really trying hard. Breakfast was great, you got to choose from a menu. It definitely wasn’t a four star experience but not terrible either.
