Pros:

Useful location, free parking if you register first, room clean.

Cons:

There are no staff there. Go to the locked up main building and ring the number on the bit of paper. They'll give you the key code.
You're actually staying in the annex at the top of the carpark.
There's no breakfast paid or otherwise.
Think AirBnB rather than hotel.

Near to Station. Bit tired but good price 🙂. Would stay again.
Pros:

Very close to Railway Station ✔️
Good sized, clean room. Beds were soft but comfy. Fresh towels. Plenty of storage space.
Our room was quiet.

Cons:

Well the location surroundings were not great due to run down area & unused main hotel.
But 2 females felt ok once we had checked into the lodge side.

Excellent customer service, spacious suite for family, handy location, good price, carpet grubby.
Pros:

Great service, friendly and attentive, really well organised, helpful, easy to follow instructions, car park right next to the property and pre validated at no extra cost. Great size, good for a family, 2 rooms, good teas coffees and even a couple of vegan milks! :-) Clean bedding, Massive main room, really good and comfy, I slept really well. Well lit, nice night light. Would definitely stay again.

Cons:

Carpet could do with a good clean, could do with having a spare key, window boarded up downstairs makes it look a bit rough when you get there so fixing that would help the aesthetics on arrival. A few glasses would be nice, even plastic, for waters / juice etc. Please ask the room preppers not to put the square pillows from the sofa on top of the nice fresh clean white bed pillows - they probably aren't cleaned regularly like the pillow cases and that's fine for sitting on the sofa, but not for putting where your face goes ;-)

Terrible decision to stay in this place
Pros:

Location to where a was going.

Cons:

Well window wouldn’t lock. As it had no handle on it. There was terrible noise all night like a constant humming from bathroom fan even tho light was off. So hardly any sleep. Then early Sunday morning fire alarm went off. And nobody came to sort it waited over 90 mins. In end we got dressed and left. No one answered phone when we rang numbers on door. So actually I’d like a refund.

Don't bother
Pros:

Just don't bother

Cons:

Unmanned facility, fire alarm went off 07.00 Sunday morning,, obviously a fault,, everyone out on the carpark, nobody to deal with it, had to get showered and dressed with alarm going off,, in hindsight should have called the fire brigade,, then the hotel would have to pay for the call out,, complete rip off of a place,, if I could be ar5ed, I would go legal with this.

Ok for an overnight but needs some love and attention.
Pros:

Although the bar and restaurant are currently closed the property does have a stand alone building containing the rooms. A big car park with an underground area which is great for motorcycles. Check in is ok although done over the telephone do get the keys from a lockbox. Big enough rooms, enough hot water, heating that works if you turn the radiators on and surprisingly quiet. Food available in another hotel down the road. Ok for a one night stopover.

Cons:

Getting towards the end of its life now. Door lock’s flimsy with some not locking properly, light fittings worn and a bit dodgy with cheap light bulbs. Mattress old and soft and seen some action.

Pros:

The room was very large and the bed was comfortable. The linen and towels were spotless and overall the room was very comfortable

Cons:

There were no bulbs in the bedside table lights which was a nuisance if you wanted to read in bed. Also the place itself was closed and looked abandoned although the rooms were behind the building off the car park
