Poor quality for a best western hotel
Pros:

Stay very friendly on reception and on bar

Cons:

Rooms are very tired , dangerous step into bathroom from bedroom. Very easily forget or not see the sign if door not closed.
Bathroom wasn't cleaned properly, marks all over the toilet seat and floor. Bath didn't look like it had been cleaned out.

Pros:

Excellent English breakfast and right by the tam stops .

Cons:

The room had a sloping low roof at 6 foot 6 that meant frequently banging my head particularly when using the toilet standing or sitting I always banged my head the area directly over the toilet is far too low in that room for someone my height
