Let down by breakfast
Pros:

Clean large rooms.

Cons:

Beware, although it says breakfast is included, that’s is only a continental breakfast. If you want someone cooked, even eggs in toast, that’s an extra £13ish per person.

Not what we booked and extremely disappointed
Pros:

Property was clean

Cons:

Booked a double room and was put into a single of which when checking on the website our rooms images where in the single section. We arrived a bit late so no staff was around to sort anything out, even tho it was apparently a doubt room it was not set up for it. With only having one towel/ glass ext.. so even after a very long day we couldn’t have a proper shower and clean. in the end we checked out on the Saturday morning instead of staying the extra night and had to go and pay out again to stay in a travel lodge. Of which even if it was advertised correctly as a double room we would not have picked to stay at this establishment.

Cons:

De kamer had geen airco of ventilator en was echt enorm warm. Een raam open doen kon niet ivm de vele duiven die naar binnen vliegen. Het was nu pas rond de 23 graden, in hoog zomer lijkt het me niet te doen om in de kamer te verblijven. Via booking had ik ontbijt geboekt, maar die blijkt niet ontbijt waardig. Voor een fatsoenlijk ontbijt moet je 12,95 pond extra betalen. Wij zijn gewoon elke dag naar de Tesco gegaan die op 3 minuten loopafstand is. Een stuk voordeliger en ook smakelijker.

Very glad I could leave for home, sorry for the colleagues that had to stay 2 days longer.
Cons:

No breakfast buffet, you need to order and anything outside continental needs to be paid for, rooms are small, poorly cleaned, warm and windows can not be opened due to pigeons. In four days the room was once cleaned, but towels not renewed. You feel the hotel hardly survives and anything that is a cost needs to be kept to a minimum.

Disappointing stay due to tiny room and noise and lack of breakfast choices
Pros:

Location is good proximity to the town

Cons:

Given a cosy double instead of a double. 4ft bed for 2 people attached to a wall so very uncomfortable. Restaurant closed at 8.30 and when we went for breakfast we were informed it was a continental breakfast which we were not aware of. £12.95pp to upgrade to a cooked breakfast. it's a joke. A building site next door so scaffolding was being erected at 8am so couldn't sleep.
Could be so much better because the rooms are nice but make sure you get the correct allocation.

Okay for a short trip
Pros:

I liked where it was located. I was able to walk to the gym and many different shops around that one would need for a short weekend

Cons:

It wasn’t very clean. Stairs had stains, a strong smell of food in the hallways, Walls are thin so could hear everything . The floor wasn’t hoovered when I arrived to my room

Good location. Lovely staff.
Pros:

Great staff, very warm and welcoming. Good location

Cons:

Had to walk down the side of the building to enter the hotel from the back of the hotel after hours. The alleyway next to the hotel was pitch black and quite dangerous.
