Room was well overdue a refurb but could see that a lot of work is being done to the hotel so it will be lovely. Breakfast was great as were all the staff. It was great value but with my room I definitely got what I paid for. Would definitely stay again when looking for a cheap base in the area

Hotel undergoing refurbishment and it needs it. Decor and carpets tatty. Beds shocking. Staff were friendly and it was clean. Breakfast plentiful. Checked out after first night and stayed elsewhere. Waved goodbye to £150 for the lost nights
