Friendly, welcoming and helpful staff. Didn't try the evening meal offerings as there is a good variety of restaurants nearby, but the breakfast was good. The room was clean and well equipped but a bit stuffy in the summer heat. Would stay there again next time I have work in the area.

The hotel is convenient to get to the town centre with just a short walk. Staff are helpful and pleasant. Only downside was a car alarm going off for an hour or so, but was no fault of the hotel. I believe they contacted the owner of the vehicle. The only thing I think would have improved my stay would’ve been some air conditioning. It was exceptionally hot, but I guess we don’t have that many days in the U.K. where it’s unbearable.

Took a ride on the toilet seat. Cold water from the sink was very slow. Extractor did not work in the bathroom. Very hot and steamy in there. Great customer service.

Tricky finding the door to the reception which is round the back of the building behind the car park. Friendly chatty hotel staff, happy to help with breakfast choices and to suggest walks in the area. Hotel is close to the The Malls for shopping and The Anvil Theatre, very close to the train station.
