A comfortable bed but a disturbed night due to the constant humming.
Pros:

Easy parking, close to the M1, comfortable bed and good dinner.

Cons:

Our room 212 was on the second floor and overlooked a busy road which made it too noisy with the window open. There was also a constant annoying hum from the bathroom.
The room had a small window which made it dark in the day time. Lighting was inadequate and room was still dinghy with the lights on.
Although it was a double room there was only one easy chair which was very uncomfortable.
The stool for the dressing table area was very low. When I sat on it I was so low that I couldn’t see myself in the mirror
Paper tissues were not provided neither was a shower cap which was needed to prevent wetting my hair because the shower was a rainfall.

overall we enjoyed our stay, as we were guests at a Diamond wedding anniversery,
Pros:

The food was very good, however it was not hot enough, Coffee was poured early, and by the time you got your food from the self service this also was not hot enough,

Cons:

The Room was small ,not much wardrobe space, the sink unit had a crack in the basin , no bars to assist you when taking a shower, and no where to put your shampoo or shower lotion when showering, we were older clients and we thought that there was no aids or extra help for us. the bed was comfortable and all the other facilities worked fine, we did have a staircase to climb with our luggage. which was quite a difficult task.

Poor quality, over-priced
Cons:

The rooms in the old part of the hotel are poor, unclean, shower wouldn't ever run hot, toilet didn't flush properly, very limited bathroom soaps, gels etc supplied. Room was small, bed was a small single (as advertised) and moved whenever I was on it. The duvet was very thick and overly warm making it very uncomfortable in the night. Also very expensive £218 for two nights was not good value for money
