Room Quality
4
Rooms described as dated/shabby with stains, unpleasant smells, dark lighting, some plumbing/toilet issues and uncomfortable beds—room quality is below expectation.
Amenities
8
Breakfast/bar facilities and parking are positives; some practical amenities are lacking or poor (no phone in rooms, weak desk fan), but overall basic amenities function adequately.
Value for Money
8
Mixed comments: a few guests felt overcharged or got less for money, while others found pricing fair and food prices reasonable; overall value leans positive for budget/business stays.

Adequate accommodation, lovely staff, quiet restful sleep and a hearty breakfast.
Pros:

We arrived very late to the hotel due to one of our trains being cancelled, and when we eventually arrived the staff on duty that night were very welcoming, helpful and accommodating.
The room was warm and the bed was comfy enough.
Breakfast was better than anticipated.

Cons:

It was a shame that carpet in the room was covered with dirty/oily boot prints.
