Very clean, lots of room, great food, great service.
Pros:

Room was really clean, had all the basic amenities we needed and was pretty roomy. The meal we had downstairs at the pub was great, everyone enjoyed the food and came out quite quickly considering there were quite a few people there. The guy that looked after us explained everything very clearly, personally walked us to our room and organised to reserve a table for us for dinner so we didn't have to worry. Would definitely recommend this place and will definitely stay again if we are in the area.

Cons:

Shower curtain is probably due for replacing and there is no exhaust fan for the shower steam so the room was very wet after the first shower, but honestly that's a really small thing for a 1-night stay.

Bad Pub room and 4 star prices
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Way overpriced, one of the bed was broken, bathroom door was dodgy, had trouble with booking they took our chocolates from the fridge and it smelt like the old dorm rooms at college

Live band until midnight makes sleeping difficult
Cons:

Live music plays until midnight and club is open until 3AM. Would not have booked here if I knew this. Room is fine for one night but very basic given the price.

Pretty ordinary - we won't be back.
Pros:

Location met our needs.
Staff were accommodating.

Cons:

Room was very small and dated, the chair provided to sit on was broken and luckily, we discovered this before sitting down (could have resulted in an injury).
Very cramped room/bathroom.
Inclusions were very minimal.
Shampoo/Conditioner and Hand Wash dispensers were difficult to use - hard to squeeze.

It served a purpose but wouldn't stay there again.
Pros:

location suited me for work purposes.

Cons:

The shower would not heat up. Would only get luke warm water after a long period. No official parking spot, just a vacant lot across the street.
The cost was expensive for what it was.
