2/5 Poor

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Excellent location but noisy front room
The goods: excellent location,the farewell receptionist polite,reasonably priced The bads: couldn’t find initially any member of staff to check me in and when I did she was very impolite,rooms facing the road despite secondary double glazing are noisy and woke up early, the shower needs a makeover as it’s very tired and old looking.

1/5 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
run by a bunch of amateurs
I don't think the people who run this hotel care about the guests - Fawlty Towers without the charm. Not much right with it. Stay somewhere else if possible.

2/5 Poor

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Walked into a renovation project - without warning
The main part of the hotel bedroom area was having major renovations. Plaster dust on the stairs. Booked a premium twin but very poor accomodation in an annexe area. Can't imagine what the non-premium rooms are like! Apparently the whole place is to close in January. No restaurant available, notice saying closed but no reason given as all tables laid up ready. Downstairs looks fine but bedrooms are definitely poor.

3/5 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Lovely staff but bathroom beyond shabby!
The hotel is saved by the delightful reception staff who were friendly and very helpful. My room at the front of the hotel also had double glazing which blocked out the road noise. However the room - and bathroom in particular - are a good ten years overdue for a refurbishment. Whilst clean the bathroom was a disgrace. Even a hole in the internal wall that had been stuffed with toilet paper! Broken tap (still functional), a plug that didn't fit, big gaps in the flooring, paint off the walls etc etc. The price doesn't reflect this poor condition.
