Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room are very tiny, painted but smells horrible like in a chemical factory. I don’t expect a great interior but it’s just old retired interior and they are due an upgrade. For the price they are charging £100 per night at minimum, better invest some money in your property. Stairs are horrible, why there is no lift. Anybody old age don’t book this hotel and if it’s the only option then ask for ground floor rooms. Staff looks least interested, parking is a pain and most likely you may have to park in the paid car park (payable from 830am for max 3 hours). All in all, try to book one of bnbs at lake side which are hit away from the main center

Clean and comfortable

The hallways up to the bedrooms look quite tired but I got a pleasant surprise when I entered my bedroom and found it to be large, clean and nice looking. I had a really comfortable sleep the 2 nights I was there without any noise disturbance (I find it hard to sleep if there's much noise). Breakfast was good.
