Disappointed & misleading
Pros:

The location was close to the town centre.
Parking was free

Cons:

We weren’t aware that it had been flooded and there was no restaurant or bar area. If we were made aware of this at the time of booking then I would not of booked here. It was a builders sight downstairs.
The hotel was extremely dated and needs a huge refurbishment.
The room wasn’t clean, specifically the bathroom. Lots of dirty marks and dust in there.
Went to have a cup of tea however the mugs in the room were also dirty so didn’t bother.
It was very noisy outside with motorbikers in the car park at 7am so couldn’t sleep past that.
Definitely would not return.
The staff were polite.

Overall it was a good stay for one night. Comfortable room, beds and good drinks makin facilities.
Pros:

It was easy to find, parking was great, the room was comfortable, friendly welcome by the staff. Allowed us to check in a bit earlier. Good updates on situation following the flooding so we could plan breakfast etc, bring drinks. Good tea, coffee facilities. Was a nice stay for one night.

Cons:

The room/bathroom could have been cleaner. Dust and tea drop stains in places. Kettle was very old and grimey, broken filter. Picture hooks on walls but no pictures, would make the room more comfortable/homely with some pictures. Could only find one socket point which made it difficult to use electrical items when needed.
Unfortunate about having no bar/restaurant available but understand this is due to recent flooding.

Won’t stay again
Pros:

Staff were friendly, free onsite parking, excellent location.

Cons:

Furniture dated, beds too soft ( nearly rolled out of bed on several occasions during the night) extension lead trailing across room for tv, had to unplug tv to use kettle. Cobwebs above bed, build up of dirt on floor behind bathroom door, long black hairs on bathroom floor ( I am bald) so definitely not mine! Strange smell emanating from bathroom, similar to part digested cabbage and Brussels all night, again not me! had to get up and open window( which the catch was broken)

For the price, nothing to criticise.
Pros:

Comprehensive breakfast selection with generous servings,well cooked, and pleasantly served in a lovely airy and light dining room. Comfy beds, handy private parking, and only a couple of minutes walk from the Monnow Bridge and the oldie worldie shops.

Cons:

All good.
