Good hotel, handy for the town.
Pros:

It has its own parking at the rear, which you pay for. The staff are very helpful and friendly.

Cons:

The soundproofing isn't good. I could hear sounds from outside my room, both in the corridor and the room adjacent to me. As well as the traffic outside. There are no charging outlets near the bed.

High price, low quality,
Pros:

The car park was free. The breakfast was nice. Staff were friendly.

Cons:

The bathroom was unclean, the beds weren't level (therefore not comfortable), the phone didn't work to call reception, the toilet didn't flush properly, only 1 power outlet and it wasn't near the bed - this was problematic when using overnight medical equipment . Price was far too high.

Great location and good sized rooms.
Pros:

The room was really big and gave us plenty of space for the 3 of us.

Cons:

There was no way of getting immediate access to more teabags and milk. We had to wait for someone to bring it to us and we were wanting a drink first thing in the morning.
