The staff are excellent. Beds are comfortable. But there is no double glazing and the decor in the rooms is very 1980s. I actually laughed out loud when I walked into the bathroom. The room was noisy and hot. It was difficult to sleep with the window open because of the road noise. Breakfast was only ok. But hotel is very convenient for walking to the university and the free parking was an added bonus.

This was great value for money. A Tesco Express is a 5 minute walk away for convenience. But because most guests have windows open, their doors SLAM shut!! It is loud, and not enjoyable late at night.

I was given a key to a room with someone in it, I woke the person up opening the door. I felt so let down I did not stay and left the hotel, taking my children on the 6.5 hour drive home as I did not want to stay in the hotel. I would like a full refund due to the above.

I heard a few bad reviews so I was a bit apprehensive about booking . The moment I arrived at the reception it did take a few moments for the staff to allocate a room but it wasn’t a long wait I was approached with smiles . The staff are friendly and always helpful . The room was exceptionally clean , equipped with a microwave /fridge freezer and cutlery /mugs /tea and coffee /milk and a kettle . I slept like a baby . No Air conditioner but a fan but to be fair it’s a 3 star hotel so I wasn’t expected an AC although it would have been great (lol). Breakfast was decent . Please do not go by the reviews on here , book it and experience it for yourself . I don’t know what people were really expecting for a 3 star hotel but I was genuinely impressed.

Special thanks to Christine on reception, although all the staff were cheerful and helpful. We were in the older buildings which were very scruffy and untidy around the grounds. Moved from first room due to unbearable heat, second room much better but nowhere to put clothes that were not on a hanger. Bath very slippy, beware !! Needs a safety met.
