For the price, it was a disappointing stay as the hotel is a bit run down.
Pros:

The location and breakfast.

Cons:

The room wasn't very clean, in particular the windows which were filthy. The property is a bit run down. Old furniture.

Areas of the hotel need refurbishing but it was not expensive and my room was clean and comfortable.
Pros:

I felt the hotel was good value for money. The staff were pleasant and the breakfast was good. There is plenty good parking and the location is good. My room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The bar and lounge areas are quite pleasant.

Cons:

I felt that parts of the hotel such as the corridors and exterior are a little tired and run down. The corridors and exterior of the hotel would benefit from a paint and there are stains on the carpets in many areas. One member of my family had a single room which he said had a strange smell. We noticed from the outside that the building roof above that room is damaged and wandered if the smell was from damp.
