Disappointing and a bed-bug issue
Pros:

Location was OK for our requirements.

Cons:

Hotel was empty but we still got a rubbish room. All the windows were in need of repair with broken latches and gaps around the frames. Shower only just drained quick enough to stop the tray overflowing, so showering had to be quick. No mechanical ventilation in the bathroom so very steamy. Quality of food in fried breakfast was poor and mostly undercooked but was very hot, so I'm assuming it had been microwaved.
My wife and Ihave multiple bed-bug bites from this hotel. The bed was not comfortable.

Brilliant staff
Pros:

I needed to stay one night while my bathroom was being renovated.
I have mobility issues & reception staff went the extra mile to make me welcome. The room was fine & the breakfast room staff were equally helpful.
Highly recommended. Thank you

Cons:

There was no light switch near the bed. I had to get out of bed to switch off the light & walk back to bed in the dark.

Comfortable, peaceful and pleasant stay
Pros:

Room was clean and glad there was fan. The bathroom was reasonably modern and ok size and importantly had a large window that could be opened. Did not had breakfast as checked-in very late and got up late.

Cons:

Couple of bedroom sleepers would be ideal.

Also no toothpaste or travel kit in room or maybe we had to go down to reception to take- I dont know and did not inquired as luckily had my own.
