Just need to pay some attention to the grouting (mould spray or bleach would sort it) and get rid of the shower curtains
Pros:

Comfy bed & friendly staff

Cons:

Dirty grout in bathroom & although the breakfast was nice while I was eating it I was very sick a few hours later - can’t be certain it was the breakfast but I’m pretty sure it was

Bad Western
Pros:

The bed was big, the walk in shower was great and the people were nice

Cons:

The room has no aur conditioning so to let some fresh air in you HAVE to open a window. The windows you can open are the size of a sheet of paper so to let more air in than you use or to let the heat out that has build up during the last hot days the windows have to stay open. Sadly all the king size rooms are located towards the street. On a saturday night at 3am there were cars every 5-15seconds reaching 70db (cars) and up to 85db inside the room (occaisonal trucks). We fell asleep around 4am due to pure exhaustion.
It's not like we didn't see that coming - we talked to the front desk about it but they were fully booked so our room "upgrade" that we paid for was such a big fat downgrade.
My partner was too tired to go to breakfast so i went on my own and I waited an hour for breakfast and 45min for the coffee I ordered.
Ah also the toilett is mounted to some wooden panel and is loose - everytime you go you better pray and maybe lose a few pounds before you arrive.
"Wherever life takes you best western is there"...yea well sometimes life takes you to rock bottom

Overall a comfortable stay with an excellent breakfast.
Pros:

Bar staff were lovely and helpful, the cooked breakfast was excellent.

Cons:

There was only a small amount of continental breakfast displayed, even when topped up still only small amounts including water and juice. Room decor was really dark.

Pros:

Room was lovely, spacious and super clean. The beds were so comfortable and we got a good night's sleep to break up our journey home from the airport. Excellent value for money.

Cons:

No lifts to top floor with very heavy suitcase. No offer to help me with bags. However, we managed ourselves in the end.

The hotel was in a great location for an overnight stay for travelling further north.
Pros:

Location. The room had a bath. Breakfast was nice.

Cons:

There were no sockets by the bed so we had to ask for an extension lead which was provided by reception. The bathroom was pokey. There wasn't room for a toilet roll holder so the toilet rolls were placed on the cistern. This was OK but when you used the wash basin, splashes landed on the toilet rolls. Also, the wash basin had one of those God awful centre mixer taps which makes washing your face difficult and thus resulting in water splashing on the the afore mentioned toilet rolls.

A stay in a dungeon
Pros:

Bed was comfortable.

Cons:

First impressions were poor as manager ignored us waiting to check-in and carry on telephone conversation. Room we where allocated was downstairs in extension of original building. Not a very nice room, lighting poor, no bedside lights. Bathroom was the smallest ensuite I have ever experienced, when you sat on toilet your knees hit toilet door!. Had to take out extras in bathroom to get our toiletries in.
Prebooked breakfast was poor, scrambled eggs were rubbery.
The only good thing was staff in restaurant were friendly.
Hotel is overpriced for what it delivered. Obviously we will not stay there again. Pity as we have had good experiences of best western group.
