I wentvto have an evening meal . Just one person eating a burger. I ordered fish and cips. 25 mins later not arrived. Asked the bar how long would it be. I was told 10 to 15 mins. I asked for my money and i recieved it. Very disappointed after a long day at work i had to wait so long for a very simple meal to cook. Asked to see the menu and was given a card from behind the bar.

The property was in a central location close to the train station,bars and restaurants. The decor was a little tired but the bathroom and room were clean. The staff helpful when we need an extra blanket and shower gel. Our room was serviced both days we were there with clean towels. It was a little noisy, not sure the window double glazing worked that well. My only main criticism was people were smoking in the rooms and the hallway outside our room stank of cigarettes. I should have complained but I didn't.We would stay again

Stayed here a few years ago due to its central location - it’s right in the town centre and has is own car park (£9 per night fee). sadly the place is getting a bit on the tired side now. Staff were friendly enough if a little inexperienced (IMO), but the building and the rooms could definitely do with a good clean and some decorating. Net curtains in our room were torn,walls were marked and so was the carpet. The other room we booked had food stains on the walls and the ceiling!! Furniture had graffiti carved into it, We also ended up on a floor with an all male ‘party’ group, that were very noisy one of the inebriated guest knocked on our door before falling over in hall, not the hotel’s fault but if this is the type of clientele that are the usual guests I wouldn’t recommend staying here as a family break, also a large pile of empty take away food and beer packaging was left outside their door and was there for too long in my opinion. In summary Great location Friendly staff Needs updating

Wasn’t the happiest for what I paid. When we got to our first room, it had make up on the curtains, the curtain door was off the hook and the main light was not working so it was really dark in the room. We got our second room and the toilet flush wasn’t working (we tried to fix it ourselves as we didn’t want to complain again, although we did let them know when we were leaving) the couch in the room the material was hanging off the seat. Was really unhappy with how much I paid. The only positive I can say is that the bed was very comfy and the staff were very kind.
