Need an update and room need refreshing
Excellent breakfast and the service was top. The waitress could not do enough to make us enjoy our stay. Walls and ceiling in our room must be thin, we could here the creaking of floorboards every time the guests upstairs were moving about. Downstairs doors were constantly banging. Ran out of a few things. Had to keep asking about replenishing the shower gel in the bathroom. We chose the executive double room but did not feel it met the expectations. No air conditioner, a fan is provided instead. The bathroom door was worn out, it left shavings on the floor mat. Housekeeping could do more to make the room and bathroom cleaner.

Good hotel for a low budget stay - shame the noise from the first floor rooms is so loud when you’re staying on the ground floor - loud stomping at all hours isn’t great when you’re trying to sleep.

Nice hotel and staff. Just dated
Nice location, really nice staff on reception. All very clean, bed comfy, good shower. Just all a bit dated. Also only 2 spare sockets in room, and with fan going (hotel supplied as no aircon and very warm weekend), only 1 spare, so had to unplug tv to charge 2 phones overnight.
