My second stay in a few months. So impressed with the staff and service of this hotel. Also, breakfast is so good! Looking forward to seeing the renovations.

Great Staff, Fantastic Breakfast. Would highly recommend.
Breakfast was great along with the location. The only downside was that the remote control for TV didn't work properly so TV had to be switched on manually which meant standing on a chair to switch on and off. The man on reception said this was only way TV would go on. Health & safety not good in that respect. Hopefully they will rectify that.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The staff were nice and the full English breakfast was good. The hotel is undergoing renovation - I'm sure it will be lovely when it's done but right now it's noisy with dark, very basic rooms.
