Very run down and tired. Everything in the room was past its best or broken. Bed was dreadful, very thin old sprung mattress, felt every lump! No bar, no restaurant, no beer garden. Breakfast was the only plus point.

Richard

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Should be about £40 a night. Really run down place, needs a lot of work and felt unclean. Would be fair enough if it was priced accordingly but £73 a night is way off compared to what can be had elsewhere for that sort of price. I guess there are limited options in the town though so it’s a captive market. I would definitely avoid unless you have no choice or can negotiate a reasonable price.

Rather basic, unhelpful manager when we asked for short (30min) extension to checkout time. Room - whole hotel really - lacking charm, pretty shabby, broken down. Breakfast little choice but adequate.
