Good value for money, service good, place a little rundown in parts.
Pros:

Room cleanliness and comfort were good, reception staff service was excellent, nothing to much trouble.

Cons:

Breakfast not buffet style as usual. This time cooked to order with a little to much fat. No toast or preserves offered. Cleanliness and decor in the upper floors not so good. Stair carpet needed a good vacuum and clean.

As it was a contractors hotel, I expected a little noise and was not disappointed, the room did have a little street noise but that is out of hotels control

Amazing staff, clean rooms
Pros:

I thought the staff here were the real highlight, very friendly, personable and polite, the room was very clean, really enjoyed our stay, gave us a good impression of Workington (which isn't always a given...)

Cons:

The street it was on wasn't the best, but we knew that, we know the area in general can sometimes carry a reputation, it's no problem really,
