Stayed for 1 night before going to France. We were lucky to get upgraded. Only comment on the room was that we couldn’t get a cold shower but appreciate that’s not everyone’s requirement! We didn’t eat at the hotel because the lighting in the Coast restaurant was too bright and the lighting in the bar area was a bit dingy. It’s a shame these were unappealing because the rest of the hotel is nicely appointed. There are plenty of places to eat in easy walking distance of the hotel.

Good quality hotel
A good quality hotel. Only downside is if you book through a third party like Hotels.com, this hotel still puts a “holding payment” on your card which takes a long time to clear. Less of a problem if paying by credit card as it should clear before your statement date, but unfortunately I used a debit card and the “holding payment” took over a week to clear which restricted the use of my account.

Room was extremely cold and smelt of must when entering. Once we got heating on was better. Sofa was very tired and bathroom was very dated and stained. The bathroom was clean but due to age sink was brown, bath was brown stains and down toilet. They put blue cleaner in to hide it but once flushed you could see. We have stayed many times before and this was the most tired condition room yet.
