Great area. Lots of charity shops. Found great deals! Staff was helpful, but ringer in phone was off. Made my taxi. Lovely people. Clean around heated towel rack, especially the feet area and the Silver area next to the toilet it always needs to be wiped down and disinfected. Thank you for the heads up about the party you had. It ended at 11 PM like they said it would

Disappointing
This 'hotel' is tired and in need of some renovation or at least a little TLC. The room wasn't dirty but felt dusty and there was a build up of dust behind furniture. The carpet looked like it was rescued from a Wetherspoons and I was reluctant to remove any footwear. Light bulbs in lamps were broken or missing. The room was on the cool side and on inspection the original sash window was open by a few centimetres and was covered with some secondary glazing. On attempting to close the window it seemed that it was stuck open and I was worried that using too much force would rip it from the frame. Hence the secondary glazing I suppose. It wasn't too bad for my stay but I would imagine it would be drafty and cold later in the year. The bathroom was OK but again the shower over the bath was quite old and not the best and there were some signs of discoloured grout and tiles. There were signs of peeling paint and dark, grubby marks on the walls and this along with the poor state of carpet and repair was also visible throughout the corridors. The staff that I met were great. Very friendly and helpful. I didn't make use of the restaurant and bar but from a quick glance they seemed reasonable. I would very much question how this establishment has achieved an 8.2/10 rating as for me, even without the issues I found in my room, I couldn't say it was more than 5/10. All in all a rather disappointing experience.

I stay here regularly and have never had a problem. The location is great, within walking distance of the town and shopping centre. The price is always reasonable. The staff are friendly. The breakfast is good. I can't comment on evening meals as I have never had one there due to the proximity of local restaurants and takeaways.
