Clean, friendly lovely place to stay

Stayed the night while visiting friends for a birthday party. Lovely service from friendly people (they even helped me wrap up a birthday present for me! Room was convienient and clean. Sadly no food service available at the weekends, however a lovely pub \ resturant next door. My only pain point was having to pay for parking which I beleive was £8, seemed a little cheaky to me.

Arrived and checked into room ok. Appeared quite clean when first arrived. Then I noticed it was less clean. The glasses were dirty, the desk chair was dirty, I went to brush my teeth, used the folded hand towel, I opened up the hand towel fully to find it had what looked like dried up sick on it. Not sure if it had been washed and hadn’t come out or if it had been left from the last guests. We won’t be staying again

Friendly staff. Nice modern room although smelt of damp. Hallway to rooms was very dark so not very pleasant. It didn’t have the hotel feel I normally get when I visit other hotel chains, it didn’t have an instant welcoming feel.
