Go elsewhere
Pros:

Evening restaurant and breakfast were both very good. Staff were excellent.

Cons:

Hotel decor was tired. Badly needed refreshing, carpets, decoration, etc. Same with the furniture within the room. Mattress was very springy and noisy. Bathroom was shocking poor. Floor - tiles - and bath were dangerously slippery. Shower head badly needed some limescale treatment, hardly any water came out. This is supposed to be a 4 star hotel. It's a 3 at best, closer to a 2.

Not a bad one & but could improve small facilities
Pros:

Friendly staff & location

Cons:

Empty hand wash bottle placed in bathroom & mattress provided on additional bed is so thin that hard bed rods hurts you when you sleep on the bed. Bit difficult to find parking spot on the premises especially on weekends.
