The Rooms are worn and need some refurbishment. However the room we had was clean, and acceptable.
Pros:

The breakfast wasn't the best. The hot food had been standing for some time and the bacon was dry. As for using hot flasks for tea & coffee, I don't understand. The tea i poured was just warm, and that needs to be fresh..

Cons:

Hot tea available for breakfast. Not flask made hours before, terrible.

Room. Is tired and shabby. The mattress om the bed was too uncomfortable to be able to sleep on. The bathroom needs an upgrade and the carpet in the room was heavily stained.

Nice and easy place to stop on your way !
Pros:

Easy Hotel for sport / working... Good breakfast (don't leave it too late!) and great staff at the breakfast room. Great to be able to go for a swim and then have breakfast !

Cons:

A bit noisy if -like it was a football game night !- so people who have over indulged can be noisy in the corridor.
