I did not dislike the hotel, it is in a good location, convenient to all amenities and services in the town centre. The hotel itself is dated and tired, the ground floor rooms are in reasonalable repair, and comfortable. the bedrooms, and I can only comment on the room I stayed in, was in need of a major upgrade to be more inline with the tariff charged.

Clean and tidy but has that faded glamour of past glories needs a refurbishment - breakfast brilliant unlike so many hotels the chef knows how to deliver eggs with a runny middle - too many kids making too much noise running around unchecked not a place if you like a bit of quiet - staff at reception really helpful some patrons not so pleasant

Upon entering the hotel it is rather grand and beautiful, apart from the tacky flashing bush things in the porchway lol. The rooms are rather different beds are uncomfortable and dated myself and my wife asked for a double room , but found it was two single beds pushed together utter rubbish.Bathroom looked like someone had dyed there hair and the cleaner couldnt reach the splatters , cracked floor tile watch your feet. Noisy drunk neighbours knocked on our door at 1am. Enjoy your stay .

The Hotel has a classic design and the entrance hall is amazing. Only interaction with staff was one minute to check in very smooth. Very quiet and clean hotel. Only issue was room, very cramped small and too much furniture. A worry was the number of 4 so ket extension leads at least 3 and one plugged into another, not sure how safe this actually is. Room was very warm (though was hot outside) but fan did nothing. TV no signal. I would stay again but with slightly lowered expectations

Lovely hotel, we’ve stayed before and the room we had was stunning. This stay was a basic room but very clean and tidy. The only downfall was the bed, it was very uncomfortable and you could feel every spring. We would stay again however, as it’s reasonably priced and in a great location.

On initial entering the property the reception and hall are very impressive. It is largely disappointing that the same cannot be said about the hotel rooms, which are in great need of upgrading. There is no parking available at the hotel free or otherwise.

Been before, never again!
I have stayed in this hotel previously & found the whole place in need of a total upgrade to bring it into the 20th never mind the 21st century. My room had severe damp on the outer walls, so much so the decoration was peeling from the wall. The bath had mould & the cleaners must never look at any of the appliances as the coffee machine drip tray was full of liquid.
