Pros:

The pub looked ok

Cons:

The room stunk potential of people smoking in the rooms and fag burns within the bathroom. The smell made me struggle to stay in the room. The breakfast was really slow and disorganised, I had to get a takeaway due to the time it would have taken to eat inside the hotel

Pros:

The staff were friendly and the rooms were clean, there were fresh linens on the bed.

Cons:

The hallways and lifts were quite dated and dirty.
My partner had a hair in his breakfast when it came out to him and the coffee machine was cold in the breakfast area.

We won’t return.
Pros:

The location was good for us as we know the area and needed to be walking distance to the crematorium.
The bed & pillows were really comfortable.

Cons:

Very poor value, worn, needs updating. Room not good, tv and a light didn’t work, wobbly taps on sink, window tricky to open and close.
There was a function on when we arrived and in the evening it was unclear what areas of the hotel were available for food & drinks so we went out to eat.
