Poor Stay

Bed Uncomfortable, TV did not work and is from the dark ages. Although staff tried to help - couldn't change channels or adjust volume. Breakfast choice of mine was also of poor quality. I would Only stay here if there is no alternative

Would stay again, breakfast service can be better

Reception was great, easy check in lots of parking. Rooms clean and tidy. Strange layout with the TV the opposite end of thr room but the mirror right over the bed. Felt a little odd. Breakfast was slow service, staff more interested in chatting and laughing in the kitchen, but was nice when it came out.

The hotel is OK. The beds are not comfortable, why not invest in some new mattresses? There was no heating on in the hotel in the afternoon (it was February). You could hear noises from adjacent rooms (fortunately they were fairly quiet). Nonetheless a reasonably priced hotel. Would we stay again, No...
