Tired room
Hotel is nice but the room was in major need of an update.

2/5 Poor

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Great location but very dated noisy hotel
Stayed at the hotel Friday Saturday Sunday room allocated(no 1) was over the bar area and overlooking bins and smoking shelter. Friday/Saturday bar open until after one in the morning and was very noisy. I would say the room is not suitable to be used at weekends. The room itself is very dated and dull with badly stained carpet. On the plus side staff were friendly and polite.Sadly won’t be staying here again.
