It was clean, close to the River and all amenities.Justshame that it has got in such an old rundo
Pros:

The garden but needed tlc. The view and the staff were welcoming.

Cons:

In need of lots of modernisation, windows were foggy, restaurant had lovely big windows but view was blocked outside with lots of artificial flowers hiding it. The tables were painted black with lots of chips all was slightly tacky, but with bags of potential, felt like staying in a nursing home, boxes and parcels stored in the entranceway.

My stay could have been so much better had they commicated the fact that there was no food.
Pros:

Hotel is dated but the bed was good and general cleanliness was good also.

Cons:

On arriving I asked whether food was available in the evening and was told that even though they had a big event the following day food would be available at 5.30 pm. On arriving at 5.30 I was told no food was available! This meant I had to go to the nearest public house but they were fully booked so a long walk 1 mile plus, followed in order to get an evening meal.

Basic cheap stay
Pros:

We booked this hotel as a last minute stay over, it was not a bad price compared to others in the area and had free parking

Cons:

The hotel is very dated, including the room. It needs a lot of work inside to refresh it. The room had a lot of dirty edges, black mould etc and really needs a nice clean finish

Pros:

The location

Cons:

Very unwelcoming. It felt like a dormitory as opposed to a hotel. The price is outrageous for the facilities provided. The cold water tap did not work. The hot water was literally boiling and unsafe!
