We've been coming for over a year now for the odd weekend break. And it's become extremely poor.
Pros:

It was average not great you could tell it had been under the warmers for to long. The fruit juice was watered down and the bread wasn't very fresh.

Cons:

The middle aged man on the reception desk has no 'front of house' skills at all I found him grumpy and borderline rude. Although the young lady was extremely friendly and pleasant.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

Reception staff. No help with bags. Very off hand. Only one young boy offered help with luggage on way out.
Left standing ringing back door bell for 10 minutes. Had to walk around and go through front of hotel to open back door myself to disabled friend. Room should of been on level floor but allocated one down steep flight of stairs. It was clean in room but very dated and basic.

Recetion very un helpfull and rude.
Pros:

Stay for 2 of our emplyees was fine

Cons:

Staff turned away our employees for not having photo ID. this had been booked through booking.com and we have never been asked for this before.
we where told it was company policy. we should have been made aware of this when booking. our lads had traveled from London and didnt arrive till 8 PM. After i finally managed to speak to reception, they where allowed back. if i hadnt interveined they would have been left without accomadation that had already been paid for. The guy on reception said he had spoken with the manager to allow the stay. He had allready told this to one of our lads while at the reception and said they couldnt do anything about it. Absolute farce.
