    The place needs a lot of TLC - the carpets are old and dirty, everything looks worn, and the bed wasn’t very comfy.

    The WiFi seemed okay.

    Myself and my friend both pensioners and the stairs were a little difficult for us with no lift in the hotel but the staff great with us, the lady who organised the brilliant substantial breakfasts in particular was great with us

    Great location re free and easy parking and ease of connecting to public transport into town was great

    I guess its fine for the price.

    My room was clean, sheets were clean as well. It was very quiet in hotel and my room - I had a good sleep. Kettle with teas and coffees was in the room and it was also clean inside.

    The building is pretty shabby, and in need of serious upgrade, however it was cheap.

    Staff were friendly and helpful. Ample and easy car parking even though we arrived very late. Linen and towels were very clean.

    Looking very tired. Carpets very old and stained in corridors. Canopy to carpark looks destroyed. Really needs decorating

    Plently of parking. Not to far from a good pub. Good for contractors just sleeping

    The breakfast tasty, hot and served promptly by friendly staff, however, I only mention this issue as feedback as according to the hotel website the breakfast was advertised as being 3 courses - juice, cereal, cooked breakfast, toast, tea and coffee, however the cereal was not offered. Although the main points of concern in the room were clean, it good do with a deep clean, but there is nothing overtly offensive.

    The staff were friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was tasty, hot and served promptly by friendly staff. The bed was very comfortable.

    Smell of damp on opening the door to room 34. Damp on shower room floor in front of toilet. Wall had damp and rising wallpaper. Sharing shower with 2 spiders and another flying insect. Shame, because this dented the overall experience. I suggest to get a decorator.

    Short notice booking. Room ugraded to Delux. Not sure what the 'delux' was! However, the drastic total opposite to the Didn't Like were: - Free off road parking. - Excellent comfortable mattress. - Super clean white bed sheets, and pillow cases. - Clean duvet and cover. - Power shower was just like in any high end hotel (even if the control knob was broken). - Perfect WiFi. - Heater was excellent.

    I didn’t like the standard room - it had no toilet or shower in it, and you could hear everyone around you.

    Close to University.
