Short Stay
Pros:

Good location, not happy to pay £10 for an out of centre car park but they are maximising revenue. Nowhere else nearby. Bed was comfy, it was clean. There was a kettle, TV worked, WiFi was free. There was air con but I turned it off, set too cold.

Cons:

Shower a bit problematic to work, breakfast was basic but fine. Hotel itself a bit pokey and dated, luckily I was not after ambience. One light swutch for all lights. Toilet flush was bizarre and leaky but worked.

Pros:

Beds are comfortable, nice little selection of treats up front good location for transport links

Cons:

2 ladies up front were quite rude, I felt like I was an inconvenience to them, I purchased a room for £72, but booked it on the wrong night, they said they couldn't help with moving the day and to take it up with booking.com, then rejected the refund through booking.com in front of me, and charged me £120 for the exact same room, following up with "the water pump is broke by that room so when someone takes a shower or runs the water, the room has a loud hum, is that okay?"

Considering they told me that was the last room available, it had to be.

Could have been a good stay, but the staff made it difficult, Stewart on the other hand, was brilliant, very friendly and approachable

It was a nice stay overall. The hotel is well positioned .
Pros:

Didn't have breakfast. We found the staff very helpful and friendly the staff who's names were Hardeep and Dipti made us very welcome and would always help with any queries regarding buses and taxis they also loved our dog named isla.

Cons:

I had fish and chips from the restaurant which looked like a piece of frozen fish from a supermarket. Also the mattress in our room that I slept on made all sorts of noises with the springs.

OK overnight stay
Pros:

I couldn't find any information in the room about breakfast timings and guessed it would be open until at least 10am. I arrived at the restaurant at 9:40am to find it closes at 9:30! This information was delivered to me quite bluntly by the receptionist and nothing else offered. However, Giuseppe leapt to his feet, rushed over and insisted I go into the restaurant and subsequently presented me with fresh pastries and fruit salad. Excellent service, thank you, Giuseppe.

Cons:

The beds are so firm it was like sleeping on a mortuary slab. The A/C in reception may be fabulous but the A/C in the rooms and restaurant are woefully inadequate on a 30c+ day.
