We enjoyed our stay. The only real downside is the lack of elevator; walking up 2 flights of stairs will luggage is a bit of a slog.

We were here for a quick trip and stayed for one night only. Everything was pleasant for the time we were there! They don’t have lifts though so something to keep in mind if you have accessibility requirements.

Comfortable Stay

Comfortable overnight stay. Good parking available and the hotel is situated conveniently just on the edge of the town centre. There was a nice selection at breakfast of cereals, yoghurts, jams etc. Nice addition of an iron/ironing board in the room rather than have to go and ask for one.

Jeanette

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Stayed here for 2 nights as a birthday weekend for my hubby, thankfully had a weekend full of plans and didn't need to spend to much time in the room. Bathroom disgusting, skirting boards full of dust, underneath the sink dirty, (as you could see it whilst sitting on the toilet), shower door didn't close, you think it was going to fall off, rather dangerous if you ask me. There's a gap in the balcony doors, so constant draft through them, that's why the radiators are on full blast. Next person that goes in might find what I found in the bedroom floor, if you look for it, don't know how long it's been there. Hard bed and pillows, I've come home needing to book a massage.
