    Charging for WiFi in the room is old school. Parking space isn't guaranteed even if you pay £5.

    Good value room if you're staying for one or two nights. Exactly what was needed. Read reviews and was worried about cleanliness, but the room was very clean.

    Noise of the generator outside near our room.

    I was expecting it to be dated and unclean but I was pleasantly surprised. It is a bit dated but very clean and well ran. The woman in the bar at night could do with a helping hand but she was happy pleasant and got on with it despite queues building up.

    Rooms unbearably hot even with the radiators turned off. No cleaning done during your stay so you have to ask for tea, coffee, toilet paper etc as no one stocking up.

    Grand hotel, nicely decorated in a central location

    Some of the other hotel staff came across as uninterested and unhelpful, it made us feel uncomfortable and not welcomed. The room wasn’t 100% clean, we found hairs in the bathroom. The fire alarm went off during our stay, so we evacuated using the fire escape, but none of the staff seemed to acknowledge this, we went to reception to explain and they just said ‘oh yeah, that was just someone having a shower in their room’

    The building and outdoor areas were amazing, impressive decor in the main reception and leisure room. We also wanted to give a shoutout to Amy who worked on reception, she was extremely welcoming, positive and cheerful, and the hotel is lucky to have her and she will go very far in life

    On arrival on going to our room we found it had not been cleaned and the bedding had not been changed. They moved us to a different room larger, but there was a funny smell the first night and the ceiling light sculpture was too bright Do not pay for wifi in the bedrooms because it does not work, also the broadband for the tv did not work and could not get BBCiplayer or amazon to connect

    Breakfast was good and the staff were excellent and helpful

    Convenient and pleasant but uncomfortably warm in the room.

    • Stayed 3 nights

    The bedroom (318) and bathroom both had vertical hot water pipes which acted as permanent "radiators" (the radiator and towel rail themselves were turned off!) and made the bedroom uncomfortably warm and dry, even with the widow opened all the time to its limit (about 6 inches!)

    Central location, parking, cost

    Beds were incredibly uncomfortable, as a hard as concrete. The room was far too hot and noisy from the nearby boiler room.

    Ambiance of the hotel, the piano man was great and we loved the decor of the hotel.

    Decor is a little tired, but not a problem for me. Ate in the restaurant a couple of times. It was OK but not great. There are lots of restaurants in the town.

    Buffet-style full English breakfast was great. Bed very large (super-king) and comfortable. Bar has some local ales Location is easy walking distance to town centre.

    Nothing worth mentioning.

    The room was clean, functional and perfectly adequete for my needs. I was impressed that there was an ironing board and iron provided. I only paid a deal price of £49 for a one night stay and most hotels more than twice the price do not provide that.
