Overall good value, never stay there on a weekend
Pros:

A walk away from the town centre. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel amenities were good. Considering it’s a budget hotel the breakfast was adequate and made to order.

Cons:

We were warned that later in the evening, the dining area was cleared and made into a nightclub. What we weren’t told was that the ultra loud noise (music) would go on until 4.30am !! This is totally unacceptable as we were on the floor directly above the comotion. In hindsight should have requested a room on the 3rd floor and further away from the din.

Clean, comfortable and food choice was quite limited but was of good quality.
Pros:

Ideally located right by the town, with plenty of local food outlets near by, as well as there own restaurant.
Unfortunately we had to leave before breakfast was served at 7.30, but was given a complimentary drink on the evening as not having breakfast.
You also get 10% off of food and drink as a resident, and free parking voucher for rear car park.
It is an ideal location for tradesmen

Cons:

The extractor fan for the bathroom was quite noisy and went on for a long time. The bedroom was on the second floor and I did not see a lift on my stay to access the floor.

Sitio agradable. Estancia desagradable por el calor extremos en las habitaciones.
Pros:

Buen desayuno, atención correcta y muy buena ubicación.
Espacio trasero que se diferencia del resto del Pub y con acceso independiente si vas con niños.

Cons:

No están preparados para altas temperaturas.
No tienen aire acondicionado ni están acondicionadas las instalaciones para temperaturas superiores a 25 grados.
Tuvimos que irnos dos noches a otro hotel con aire acondicionado.
