Staff was professional, courteous and helpful. Rooms were somewhat dated but spotless. Linens were crisp and clean. My only issue was the long hallway walk to the room I was assigned. Food was good, served piping hot and served on a warm tray. I think this is their best asset yet. A vast array of choices at the breakfast buffet.

The hotel does not have a lift to the upper floors. This is a major concern to people with difficulties with stairs. We only found this out upon arrival. We had 2 large cases which we struggled with to the upper floor. No offer of assistance was made. The rooms are tired, cold and in need of a facelift. It looks like there has not been any decorating since the 1970s. The restaurant was nice. Food good although a bit limited to basic chips and burgers. Would I stay again .... No

Having visited this hotel at least 8 times in the past 18 months I was looking forward to my stay as they previously consistently exceed my expectations. Check-in was quick and super friendly. The room was the usual good standard. Breakfast was great as usual. My evening meal wasn't the best, usually I am singing the praises of this restaurant both in terms of quality and value. On this occasion I was served overcooked, dry chicken tenders as a starter, I struggled to try and eat one but had to return the rest. It was obvious from looking that they should not have been served, but believe it or not I am not a complainer, so tried to eat them. A replacement was swiftly delivered but nor real apology was offered, not even when paying the bill. I hope this isn't how things are going to be, as I make very regular use of this wonderful hotel.
