"All round good and convenient for me "

"Wow what a lovely hotel, staff so very welcoming and very helpful. Room was immaculately clean. We booked one night as we had tickets to see Fishermans Friends at the Regent Theatre. Was perfect walking distance. Great view of the waterfront from our window even though we were in a room on the side. Breakfast was really well cooked. Would highly recommend. We loved our stay here"

"Such a good hotel with a great location. Stagg are always welcoming and freindly. The breakfast is always great. I didn't have dinner this time but have previously and thay was also really good. "

"We can recommend this hotel unreservedly. Staff went out of their way to help us with our problems and make us comfortable. We first had to change our reservation due to the train strike and Joey took care of that, next we wanted twin instead of double beds and Emily took care of that. Everytime we asked for help they were able to do something. The hotel is very conveniently located in the high street, clean and welcoming. Food in the bar is excellent."

"Room was a decent size for twin with good bathroom facilities "

"Whilst I notice other reviewers mention refurbishment, there was not much disruption when I visited (early May 2024) Plus points - Check in was easy and very welcoming. Bedroom was spacious, modern, clean and facilities in room were good. There was a bath and shower over which was nice and although the bathroom definitely did need refurbishment (was dated and showing wear and tear) it was clean, which was the most important thing. The bed was comfortable and I slept well which I don't often do in a hotel! For me a huge plus was location (very easy when coming from the west country) and the EV chargers - these were a revelation as there were several and I was able to re-charge overnight so I will definitely book this hotel again, just for this convenience. Cons - just the fact that the restaurant seemed to be closed so no breakfast option. One other thing for the hotel to note, whilst it didn't impact me, there were petrol vehicles parked in two of the EV charging bays for the duration of my stay which could have been frustrating for other EV drivers. Otherwise a great stay and IMO better that other chain hotels at a similar price point."
