Wouldn’t return, or recommend!
Pros:

I liked that it had free parking, and that it was close to somewhere to eat

Cons:

It stunk, the hallway smelled like rotting food in the corridor, the breakfast selection was poor, plates were sticky on the bottom, the carpet was stained from the door to the window big chunks of brown, the bathroom had cracked flooring, the bedroom was opposite the main road and kept us awake all night, the bedding had orange staines on it and the carpet had so much hair sticking to our socks we had to keep our shoes on, we would not return to this place, reception was uncomfortable, had to ask the guy to repeat himself because the music was louder than him speaking, 2/10 experience, which is a shame

AVOID!
Pros:

Nothing!!!

Cons:

This hotel is being used as a hostel for homeless family's, as a paying guest this was not communicated by booking.com or the hotel. The breakfast area was full of these family's in their sleepwear! NOT ACCEPTABLE

Dreadful! The only good thing was the staff who were excellent!
Pros:

Convenient location for our stay

Cons:

No transparency it was being used as a social care b&b. Only 8 room used for paying guests. Disgusting! and we feel annoyed that it wasn’t made clear when booking or we’d have gone elsewhere!!

Comfortable hotel with negative aspects.
Pros:

Reception and breakfast staff very pleasant and helpful. A good variety of hot and cold choices available for breakfast, and restaurant well organised. Room clean and well appointed.

Cons:

Ground floor room faced onto front pavement / car park / grassed area: became a chattering spot, including some swearing, which got louder as the evening wore on to beyond 10 pm. Not pleasant. Thankfully had breakfast from around 8.00am as from around 8.25am onwards there was a very noticeable and sudden influx of mothers and small children. All staying at the hotel?

Pros:

Breakfast was included, nice mix of continental and cooked.

Cons:

Lots of children running around, being questioned by someone who was staying there long term how long I was staying for.

Your Staff are great, your free guests NOT we wont be booking that hotel again.
Pros:

The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast lots of chose and really nicely cooked,

Cons:

We defiantly did not like at all going for breakfast and seeing immigrants coming down for there breakfast in pyjama's.

Then congregating just outside the main entrance of the hotel sitting on the floor, it was very unpleasant to have to walk around them to get to our car, They looked at you as though we should not have been there. very unnerving to say the least. If I had have known this i would have booked somewhere else.

Not the standard we have been used too with Holiday Inn
Pros:

It was a good location for us

Cons:

Very tired and dated, most of the rooms are rented to the council which meant the occupants were hanging around all day it made it feel intimidating
