Average, disappointing
Cons:

I asked for late check out and they stated they were very busy so they couldn't offer it. I couldn't use the pods provided in the coffee machine, as they weren't the right size, staff couldn't provide me with another machine or right size pods, was offered coffee from bar while it was open, I was working nights so wanted it throughout. I went to have dinner, waited for ages for a table and was ready waiting to order and no one came near me for 10 minutes or more, I left. The receptionists weren't pleasant it felt like you were annoying them asking a question, paid when checked in but invoice not available till checkout! So had to wait for unpleasant staff to provide this to me, which they emailed then!
A bus load of tourists came in and blocked the stairs and foyer area staff weren't available to help them and waiting staff pushed through without any apologises to them, crazy. Parking is very limited

Comfy and welcoming.
Pros:

very comfy, clean room. Friendly, helpful staff. Within easy walking distance of the town centre and all the pubs.

Cons:

I personally hate being charged extra and separately for a hotel breakfast. I believe it should be included in the price. Therefore we made a conscious choice not to dine in the hotel. The TV reception was poor.

Cons:

The room clearly had an issue with being too hot. Presumably excess heat from the leisure centre underneath. Turned heating off and window wide open to no avail. Room should be equipped with air con unit at the very least.
