No sleep at all
Pros:

Staff were friendly when you actually saw them ,great location for the event we went to and food was good

Cons:

We were in room 20 right above the reception area and from 12.30 am straight through till 5.30 am we could here every ,laugh joke conversation and swearing every member of staff that came on to shift (and there were a few different ones )as if they were sat on the bed in our room with us . We managed 30 mins sleep at 5.30 am when the delivery guy rang the buzzer and yelled just bellow our window to gain staff attention. We've used this place for several times in the past 7 years and never had a bad time until last night.

Great value for money Hotel
Pros:

The staff were great. Friendly,polite and professional. Food was lovely, very good breakfast with plenty of variety x

Cons:

Bathroom had only that day been painted and the smell was a bit annoying. Not the hotels fault what so ever but the noise out side was terrible with boy racers using the road like a race track and peoplescreaming and shouting. Just a thought if you need a quiet room.
