Breakfast was nice good choice, King room upgrade for £10 pp a night was nice, pool was nice but small lucky just two of us in it you have to pay £10 deposit per towel and a £1 for the hire, Entertainment was okay, Had to pay £27 parking for three night stay because I booked through Expedia, Sports bar food (burnt bacon bap)+ a pint deal was terrible was the driest thing I’ve ever eaten plus was over charged for the food then had to see a manager to get £3 refund (How embarrassing), smells stale and damp in the corridors, full skips and building materials out near parking areas.

Had a lovely stay here staff friendly and helpful. Room was clean and bed very comfortable. Great location Only down side was I had searched for hotels with parking and aircon which this hotel has but at an additional charge. Which I was informed had I booked direct with the hotel for the same price for room my parking would have been free instead of the £9 a day

I only had a small single room which looked dated. Old furniture etc. bed was comfortable though. It was adequate for my 2 night stay. However the bathroom smelt a bit and I had to leave extraction fan on over night with door closed. When I first arrived the bathroom light and extractor fan was already on so I think they no it has an odour. Just needs sorting that’s all.

I was going to request a 100% refund but as the Hotel gave a free breakfast i reduced my tequest to 50 %. Despite the issues i had the Hotel clealy believe saving £35 is more important than their customers. Despite the presence of insects on my bed they felt £69 was a fair price.
