I was concerned after reading reviews however I didn't need to be. There was a large car park with ample parking. The reception was nice and welcoming and the receptionist very friendly. We were on the second floor which we took the lift to. The corridors were clean and smelt fresh our room was a quadruple room for the 3 of us, it was adequate, clean, smelt fresh and the beds were comfortable. We had kettle with tea and coffee provided, the bathroom had small bottles of shampoo and body wash provided. Breakfast was included it was continental style with plenty of pastries, croissants, toast yoghurt fruit and cereal tea coffee, chocolate and fruit juice were also provided. It was also very quiet and we didn't encounter any children. This hotel isn't posh or upmarket but it's clean comfortable and a nice place to stay. Also easy walking distance from the town, we attended a show at the theatre and it was very convenient. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Hotel is just starting to come back to life after being used as an emergency accommodation facility. Minimal staff but they were so helpful and friendly. Awful smell in the reception and bar area, suspect carpet needs a professional clean….and the vacuum cleaner they’re using needs changing as it’s pumping put stinky air. Shame, as the OPL was a truly prestigious hotel once, beautiful building, I really truly hope she can recover and get her former glory and reputation back.
