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)

Overall we were dissapointed with our stay, as for £100 a night it wasn't worth the price.
Pros:

Staff were lovely and the location was great.

Cons:

The room was older than shown on pictures and not up to standard described.
The 'double bed' was in fact 2 single beds pushed together, with one mattress significantly damaged on one side leading to a wonky nights sleep.
There were holes in pillowcases and blood stains on the bedding.

All good.

Handy location
Pros:

Location is excellent - super access to the centre of Monmouth. Beds were comfortable with clean linen and plentiful towels. Kettle and drinks resources available n rooms which was very welcome. Staff were friendly and made us welcome.

Cons:

The interior of the hotel is now looking tired - everything worked and was comfortable but hallway carpets are worn. Being close to the main road makes it very accessible and easy to locate but in summer with windows open, it was noisy.
