"Clean room pleasant staff. Service a little slow but hotel was very busy "

"We went with a sea view room with a balcony this time. Always have a great stay at this hotel. Breakfast is an all you can eat buffet style with loads of cooked food. Great way to start your day. "

"I arrived earlier that 3pm but the staff found a room that was ready so we could get settled sooner. Overall, we were happy with our stay, the breakfasts were really good, glad we paid for full breakfast as extra. location was also good. "

"The lift was out of order on my second morning when I was leaving. I had four bags with me which in total were too heavy to take down four flights of stairs in one trip. (I'm 76 and was on my own). Surely, lift maintenance should take place after all guests leaving that day had left. Fortunately, after a short wait, a member of staff helped me with my luggage to the car park. Room 407. The en suite bathroom was up four steep steps from the bedroom. The bathroom door had a self-closing device so in the wee small hours I had to fight with the door as I stumbled into the bathroom. Fortunately, I am not incontinent but I can visualise that "accidents" could happen when a guest is caught short. The disabled person's handle on the side of the stairs which should have helped was too short. Not sure if the steepness of the steps leading up to the bathroom is legal. I parked my car in the hotel garage. I do not remember seeing a tariff for the car park on the hotel's website. It may have been there but it was definitely not obvious. The cost for two days' stay was unexpected. Because of the extra cost, I did not take meals in the hotel. Their loss. On the good side, a pleasant maintenance employee helped to direct my car to the hotel garage. The young lady manager who helped me to get my luggage to the garage was also very nice. The temperature of the room was perfect and the bed was comfortable."

"Lighting in bar needs dimming, bright lights lack atmosphere"

"Staff was great room was average good for the money happy time "

"Good breakfast, great value for money. My single room was a good size, but the bed wasn't great. The bathroom, was also fine, although the shower had very poor pressure. For the money, it is absolutely fine - just don't have unrealistic expectations!"

"It was value for money £35 per night but it is very tired and needs a lot of tiding up. I had to ask for toilet rolls when I got to my room also the mug was still dirty so had to ask for a clean one. Saying that I slept well and the staff were helpful when asked."

"For the price you pay it’s not up to standard. You are better off going to the travel lodge over the road. Only good thing about the stay was breakfast and where the hotel is. Other than that, I wouldn’t stay here again. Had to be moved rooms due to the filth that was in the room. If you’re staying on the first floor all you can hear is people above. Cleaners and manager need a talking too. The head board was thick with dust and there’s only one thing splattered on that head board, it’s disgusting. I’ll be contacting head office. Not acceptable."
