Good value - we probably could have asked for a room with a bigger bed and for the heating to be put
Pros:

The location was good, parking easy, access easy and staff were friendly. Hot water for shower, room was clean and had a tv.

Cons:

The bed was a queen size and not quite big enough for two of us. The radiator would not come on and it was a bit cold in the night.

Hospitality was okay.
Cons:

In the morning, we found that, although there was power to the electric shower, no water was forthcoming when initiated!

Would not go again, would not recommend
Pros:

Not much

Cons:

Booked 2 nights, stayed 1. Accused of smoking drugs in the room straight away by staff, in front of the entire pub. My partner, not myself, do drugs. Banged my head 3 times on a very low door frame with no signs. Staff made us feel very uncomfortable. Bed was horrible. Said pub shuts at 11:00 but loud music and shouting until 01:30 outside the room in their beer garden. Ended up having a lovely meal in a nearby pub, and taking a few drinks back to the room. Left straight away in the morning.

Absolutely awful,never,ever again.
Pros:

Absolutely nothing,i

Cons:

It was dirty,noisy,with nowhere to park.
I was put in a single bedroom over the bar and the noise from the bar went on until after 12pm with constant thumping of a beat .
The carpet on the stairs was growing its own background,the banister was absolutely filthy,all the doors needed a good clean.The bedroom en suite was clean but the curtains were filthy,the floor was not wood it was vinyl and the bed was so old l sank into the middle and couldn’t get out of bed.My coffee cup wasn’t washed after use and the bedside lamp was so dim you couldn’t use it to see.The entrance door was a struggle to open and the lock hung upside down.There was a real difficulty in opening it and had to bang it to shut it,with no means of getting in other than pushing it with a shoulder.I would never recommend this place to anyone and l only stayed because l paid up front when l got there.

Affordable easy access hotel for sporting weekend in Kings Lynn.
Pros:

Clean, comfortable well located hotel. Parking is available, just be aware of high street restrictions. As explained to the owners, due to an emergency at home, we unfortunately had to cut short our visit but this was no way reflective of the hotel...

Cons:

Guy at Cats Kitchen cafe was on one. We'd parked in a parking space outside his cafe. He was on a mission to get his car in the space as we drove off......

Pros:

Clean, basic, above a pub. Quite noisy early evening. Quite tired - certainly not luxurious. But good value for money and did "exactly what is said on the tin". I would stay here again.
