Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service

Good, but dated

The room was nice - fairly big and comfortable. A trouser-press, but no fridge, which was disappointing. Water pressure good and hot. Shower over a bath, which isn't ideal for elderly people, although handrails are provided. The mattress was firm, which we like, but a little hard - a topper would have helped. The hotel is pleasant, but a bit dated. It's a good location - fairly quiet and easy to find. The staff were friendly and polite. Breakfast has a good selection, although the full English is clearly not cooked to order - items had been kept warm for some time. Reasonable value for money, but would have liked a fridge, more comfortable mattress and a breakfast that was fresher.

Disliked: Room comfort

Uncomfortable hard bed and even harder pillows.

Pillows were very hard and uncomfortable. I had asked for extra pillows but only 4 were provided, which is usually standard in a hotel. There were no softer pillows available.

Classic style hotel, looking a bit tired

It's a reasonable Hotel is quite a nice location it's just looking fairly run down. We had our Christmas Party here 6 years ago and it looks pretty much the same but just more tired and old. Staff were generally friendly and service was ok. Cleanliness in the hotel was ok. Sleep quality was fairly good, the room was a bit cold. Tap water came out nice and hot but the shower could only do freezing cold or cold (Room 201).

Not much sleep

Could not fault it accept I could hear the man above me going to the toilet in the middle of the night and getting back in bed. The bed squeaking. Then getting woke up every morning at 6.15 when he got up could hear him using the toilet shower and opening and closing draws. My bed was very squeaky also every time I moved
