Stayed here a few years ago due to its central location - it’s right in the town centre and has is own car park (£9 per night fee). sadly the place is getting a bit on the tired side now. Staff were friendly enough if a little inexperienced (IMO), but the building and the rooms could definitely do with a good clean and some decorating. Net curtains in our room were torn,walls were marked and so was the carpet. The other room we booked had food stains on the walls and the ceiling!! Furniture had graffiti carved into it, We also ended up on a floor with an all male ‘party’ group, that were very noisy one of the inebriated guest knocked on our door before falling over in hall, not the hotel’s fault but if this is the type of clientele that are the usual guests I wouldn’t recommend staying here as a family break, also a large pile of empty take away food and beer packaging was left outside their door and was there for too long in my opinion. In summary Great location Friendly staff Needs updating

Not a great stay. The rooms was very old and worn. The carpets were all pulled and very saggy. Definitely a hazard. Also where very dirty in places. Curtains had holes. Alarms going off because of smokers in rooms and very loud neighbours at 3am.

Wasn’t the happiest for what I paid. When we got to our first room, it had make up on the curtains, the curtain door was off the hook and the main light was not working so it was really dark in the room. We got our second room and the toilet flush wasn’t working (we tried to fix it ourselves as we didn’t want to complain again, although we did let them know when we were leaving) the couch in the room the material was hanging off the seat. Was really unhappy with how much I paid. The only positive I can say is that the bed was very comfy and the staff were very kind.
