Very good, very friendly blonde manager who lent me some scissors. The lady who checked us in allowed us to check in early which was a great help.

Staff and food were excellent, however the accommodation area was worn out and in poor condition dirty carpets etc, I understand a refurbishment is due to start next week which is long overdue. The room amenities were clean but well used and. In need of refreshing. I would stay here again, knowing that it is going to be refurbished.

Needs major renovation and redesign.
The bar and restaurant were fine. The hotel accommodation is probably the worst I have ever stayed in. The decor is filthy and extremely dated, the bathroom had black mould around the seals, the carpet was stained, the make up mirror lights didn’t work, one of the electric points didn’t work so had to limit what you could use, the room smelled fusty and dirty. The furniture had not been updated since may be 1980. The curtains were stained and bleached by the sun, needed a good clean. This place is in need of a major renovation and to step into the modern world.

Felt lucky to leave
Nice friendly check in, reception (and bar) look promising … then you walk through the door to the hotel and are transported back to 1973 and a cheap coach trip. In dire dire need of an upgrade the place is beyond a refresh and in need of a complete overhaul. On entry the room had a distinct odour of vomit and bleach, our friends room had a similar but not nearly as bad odour. When plugging in the TV my hand was covered in something thick and sticky - so disgusted I ran to wash it off and had no desire to inspect it. The rickety windows let in all the noise throughout the night - cars, rowdy people outside etc etc so even when shutting eyes the impact of this dreadful place was apparent. Walls are marked, everything is shabby. Bed linen and towels were clean, fresh and decent quality which was the only plus… especially when you want to shower to wash the ‘ick of the room off. We had to stay in the area and accepted this was simply a place to lay our heads but due to the state (and smell) of the rooms we decided not to eat dinner or breakfast there although the bar/restaurant was quite busy. £70 is robbery for a room of such dreadfully poor standard.

Very tired rooms!
Hotel room was very tired looking, toilet didn’t flush properly, the bed was rock hard and the Wi-Fi connection was really poor. However, the breakfast was wonderful and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful which made up for it.

Three night stay
Rooms are basic but clean and the bed was comfortable, food was average. But I thought it was expensive for drinks unless your a wine drinker, it was ok. Overall it was ok, and I would stay again.
