The room is run down and needs a complete overhaul and the bathroom is even worse, but the room is warm and the bed is c
Pros:

The breakfast was nice, the staff were all very good and friendly. The room was warm and the bed was very comfortable.

Cons:

The communal areas are all very nice, but the rooms are very old and run down. The bathroom was very old, with mould in the shower. The shower is next to useless because it is electric and electric showers are always useless, you can barely get wet under them. I was there for 4 nights and they made up the room 2 nights, but never gave me more toilet paper, so I had to buy some. All of my stay they never emptied the bin, so that was overflowing and a big pile next to it. There is big holes in the floor at the bottom of the bed, and the carpet has just been layered over the , which is unbelievable, I have been a builder in the past and that is a easy fix, every time I walked around the bed my foot would fall into the big holes in the floor, which adds to the feeling that the room is very run down and needs a complete renovation.

Great location, breakfast and friendly staff
Pros:

The breakfast was really good and the waiting staff in the morning very friendly and approachable. We also liked the location as it was very near to the venue that we were visiting.
The newly renovated bathroom was also really modern, clean and inviting

Cons:

I received a holding charge for the accommodation twice on my bank account which was only cleared after one week which could not be explained by the reception.
The bedroom was very small despite being advertised as a Deluxe King room and we could not find the light switches for the lights over the bedside cabinets.

Cheap hotel so shouldn’t expect too much, but some of the basics were missing.
Cons:

The room was cold with an inadequate radiator that was covered by the curtain. Not enough toilet paper and no spare roll. No bedside light or ability to turn off light from the bed. Very poor hot water pressure.

Not for me
Pros:

1. Excellent breakfast in the morning which made up for the other short comings
2. Hotel staff were always friendly and welcoming
3. Hotel is local shops and takeaways
4. On-site parking

Cons:

1. The single bed mattress was uncomfortable and worn out- needs replacing.
2. The en-suite shower room was very very tiny, the toilet flush does not work very well!! and lighting in the en-suite shower room is very dim.
3. Did not recieve a Receipt when I left in the morning straightaway but was emailed one and this after I had sent an email reminder to the hotel
4. Hotel is next to a busy road hence road traffic noise can be an issue
