8/10 Very good

Nice hotel, pleasant staff, clean and guests are well provided for. A little tired in places but appearances suggest the owners try to keep up with repairs and decoration. Would stay again.
Tracey, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very clean room, staff was excellent, I was welcomed with a smile. I love the space of the room.
Green, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The reception staff were welcoming and helpful. The room was clean and bed comfortable. Only downside was toilet didn't flush so had to use a bin of water each time to 'flush' the toilet, which was awful.
Frances, 1-night trip

Joanne, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Typical low cost hotel, beds were clean.
Andy, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Parking very easy and lots of spaces. Breakfast was ok for the price, plenty of choice and quality was good, but long waits for the food to be refreshed. No water pressure in shower, terrible, I complained, but was told that all rooms are the same. Room was clean and tidy and good for sleeping.
Shaun, 1-night trip

Good Stay

Check in was quick and friendly. Ample parking and a good location. The room was adequate and what I expected.
Stuart, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The breakfast was a bit average. Cheap sausage. Hash browns were a bit damp. The toaster burnt the toast one side and was uncooked other side. Cold coffee, no water and the juice was like cordial.
Noel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was very spacious and neat. Shower pressure was low. Aside that, it was a nice place to stay

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel and staff

Staff friendly and very helpful. Room was a bit warm as it was a humid day. Reception got us a fan for the room. Was very clean and comfortable room and very quiet and peaceful sleep. In the morning we had breakfast the lady we spoke to was amazingly helpfully and hospitable. Made sure we had everything we needed and even had a lovely chat with us after we finished. Great service and breakfast. Will definitely stay again.
Lesley, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Functional - but not nice

Bed had collapsed mattress - hotel had overwhelming smell of smoke on upper floors - sofa in room had foam internals showing - sofa in room had cigarette burns on arms - bathroom floor grout had been painted… poorly because it’s dirty - bathroom has unacceptable amount of human hair.

Party time

Good stay, great room. Breakfast wasn't the greatest but ok.
James, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Lady with curly brown hair on reception had a very poor attitude very abrupt and not welcoming in any way. No advice i.e. internet code etc just heres your keycard! Couldnt get in my room as keycode looked like two 66 but apparently were two 55 hand written. Had to go back down to reception were again was looked at with distain but fortunately the more receptive blond lady helped me out. Room was tired in need of full refurb especially bathroom. Hotel in general looks like it needs full make over with staff that understand customer service basics!!!
David, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Staff were polite but no TV channels

Very clean and tidy, well situated for amenities.
JOHN, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Arrived 15 mins before our check in time to be told we couldn't check in until 2 which was acceptable but the room was not ready at 2 and still not ready at 3.We was told it was fully booked the night before and they only had 3 cleaners to do the rooms(poor excuse)The reception area had many people experiencing the same thing.The bloke that was on reception was also the person that was managing the bar as we waited for our room.He clearly can't be in 2 places at the same time so many were getting frustrated at it being undermanned. When we finally got to our room the code wouldn't work so i had to go and rectify this.There was a stain where a toothbrush had been and dirt around the tap which was easy to remove.There was no toilet roll holder only a bracket where it was.Breakfast wasn't very warm but it was ok. This hotel looks very nice which is a shame but it is definitely needs more staff and extra care in certain places.

The Bar & Restaurant had been closed since January 2025, so couldn't have a meal or a drink . Had to walk to another hotel down the road. Won't be staying at this hotel again.

Food and service was excellent!

Very swish entrance, room was great, comfy enough, restaurant was surprisingly good, i enjoyed the open front to the restaurant giving very airy, almost al fresco dining. I was working nearby and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Food and service was excellent!
