Room small and cramped
Pros:

Room was a twin, very small
Bedding clean but curtains covered in stains and not secure on rail due to missing hooks therefore sun light in the room!

Hotel was good value , staff were pleasant breakfast was a buffet but good variety
Pros:

all good

Cons:

We had an evening meal , are first choices on the menu were not available the hotel had no lamb shanks, no pork chops, no vanilla ice cream which seemed poor for a 4 star hotel , tv could do with upgrading and maybe a pay for view service , there was no bluetooth so could not stream any content its 2026 pretty standard stuff

The hotel is tired and could be with some refurbishments to bring it to IHG standards.
Pros:

The location was ideal and the bed was comfortable.

Cons:

My room window was left open as it was a little stuffy. The carpet was visibly stained we is off putting and there were not many choices for food. It shouldn't cost a hotel much to keep the carpets clean and fresh. Outside the hotel, there was a group of men mainly elderly smoking and drinking which put me off going out of the hotel for a walk after dinner.
