Terrible uncofartable stay would not use ever again
Pros:

In the town centre good access to the shops

Cons:

With the heat wave did not realise this place had no air condition, booked two rooms and my kids room there was no fan supplied and the window would not open the kids slept in our room to keep cool even our room was boiling as it was cheap plastic fans that basically done nothing

Great location, clean facilities, great parking prices, 24 hour bar / reception.
Pros:

The staff were very good, smart, polite and helpful.

The location was spot on.

The hotel was clean and tidy with a 24 hour bar.

Cons:

We were in room 239. The people in 241 came into our room in the early hours of the morning through the adjoining door! It was scary. 2 women, they may have been intoxicated.

My sister stayed in 243 and had to go to reception in the night due to fighting, shouting and swearing from 245. My sister and her wife were terrified.

Some of the breakfast food was cold.
