Arrived before the stated check-in time but the room was ready so got checked in easily. No additional charge unlike some of the chain hotels. Room was as described and perfectly equipped for my needs. 3 times the amount of tea and coffee compared with the chain hotels. Again excellent value. Didn't require breakfast but was available.

The shower temperature was at best, tepid. Haven't ever experienced this in a hotel with a 3 star AA rated hotel. A big disappointment ! Not a very nice guy on Reception last night; he preferred chatting to someone who wasn't a resident than check me in. Again, disappointing. As a lone female, I won't be back, sadly.

We stayed in the family room. Extremely saggy mattresses and old, torn bedding wrapping a duvet that only consisted of exposed synthetic material. Dated decor. Misleading photographs on the website. I was extremely disappointed.
