I chose this hotel as a treat rather than a budget hotel option for myself and my fiancé for a night away. I was disappointed with the room- it was very tired looking and dated. Stains/marks on the carpet and curtains and the room itself just wasn’t particularly modern looking. I slept badly as the air conditioning didn’t seem to work properly and the pillows were awful with no extras available. I wished we’d chosen a budget option instead. The only things that were good were the actual lobby area looks lovely and the staff within it were polite and helpful. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else to stay here ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/46d61ca4-71dc-4c63-84ec-310e7d7dbffc-1766931043764.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1c339edb-3c37-4302-a367-870f92b222eb-1766931047102.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Emma Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Connor 11 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay Great stay, very nicely upgraded rooms and we had such a peaceful sleep.
