Good value middle of range hotel, would stay again

The staff were great, the room secure and clean. Had all required facilities and also a fridge.

The bar wasn’t open whenever I tried to go there. Was a little dated and some bit could do with freshening up.

Okay stay, not great
Pros:

Staff very accomodating for us, we have mobility issues, but we still had to take a few stairs to get to our rooms.

Cons:

Room very stuffy, opened window, screen torn. People smoking close to the hotel by the rear entrance ( not 30 m), even during the night, smoke coming into room.Bed very high, hard for someone with mobility issues to get on. Hot water was scalding! You had to be careful when using! We were in town for Come From Away, as were a lot of other people, suspect the rates may have been adjusted a bit.
