Much better than expected
Pros:

We had a really lovely room, spotlessly clean, 4 poster with ensuite, 3 piece suite and a dressing room bigger than some hotel rooms I've had. Great location, definitely go back as it was excellent value.

Cons:

Electric socket fuse kept blowing

Pleasant and ideal for what we wanted
Pros:

Location is ideal - short walk from the rail station, close to Splashworld, amusements and local shops and food. Although it can look a little dated from the outside and some parts inside, it was generally nice and nice service from people working there.

Cons:

Only issue was the wifi - all devices would connect but after 5-10mins, it wouldnt stay connected as show "connected without internet", then the whole process starts again when reconnected. There was no period of time the wifi would work for extended time.

It did this on 3 separate devices so wasn't a stand-alone issue. It was frustrating for my daughter who wanted to watch tv online or play online games in our quiet time.
