If your drug free I don't recommend this hotel
Pros:

Myself and my partner got woke up every night by people shouting and arguing during the night and early hours.
The lad who was telling people he was the manager was very load when talking or on the phone.
His language was disgusting and very sexual when speaking to females on the phone.
Drug use was high on premises and you could spell it all over the hotel.
The caretaker was great and his son sorted our TV out but it was only tuned into WiFi channels and the TV kept going off and freezing while watching it so we ended up watching TV on our phone.
Again the night manager woke us up singing while walking around the hall outside our room.
We finally got sleep in the early hours then he woke us really early.. not happy.
The owner was great and has big plans for the bar and hotel we wish him well

Cons:

See above questions

The Barron's hotel should be shut down
Pros:

Nothing they chucked me and my autistic adult son out for stopping a man from killing a woman in the hotel they chucked us out first thing in the morning. We didn't do anything wrong we helped everyone with everything even the cleaners cleaning absolutely disgusting people.

Cons:

Steve awful we were assaulted in the hotel and the guy that did it was allowed to keep going back to the hotel even though the police said it wasn't safe to have him in the building around us. What's more a woman got battered by a man in the hotel twice and they did nothing. Another woman was raped in the hotel they did nothing for days. Never been so disgusted in a human being ever.

Interior dated and rooms could do with sprucing up - beds weren’t uncomfortable and smelt clean however covers had some
Pros:

Good location for the purpose of the stay - cheap.

Cons:

Seemed more like a doss house than a B&B - people in and out smoking cannabis at all hours.

Gone downhill.
Pros:

Location is good

Cons:

No towels, toiletries or tea/coffee/milk on arrival. Towels arrived the next afternoon. No working TV for our entire stay. Tobacco smoke smells coming from room nearby and weed smell about all over. Left 2 days early because we’d had enough.

Pros:

It was neat and gave good value for the money.

I haven't been to other hotels so I don't have much to compare it with

The staff treatment was nice. The bed and linen are clean and comfortable. Very little to complain about I must say

Cons:

The lingering smell of cigar, the fire alarm going off a few times and noisy occupants

But, Hey, those are bound to happen once in a while
