… it surved a purpose, but will look for something better next time!!
Pros:

It had a bar & food available at the property.

Cons:

Rooms were very dated, needed a good paint. Half the plug sockets in the room didn’t work. As didn’t the electric heater!
The hotel just appeared dated & need of a big renovation. Also is it necessary to charge £2 per night for parking….. really!!!!

Not as good as I hoped, but reflected in the price.
Pros:

It was close to the Hospital, when my wife had an operation.

Cons:

Access to my room involved going outside to a separate building. The TV did not work and there was no information on how to connect to Wi-Fi There was also no separate shower - at 90 I had to climb into the bath to access a shower.

Not recommended
Pros:

The lady at the desk on the morning I left could not have been more helpful when I asked for directions into town. The evening staff were friendly and welcoming. The price I will say was pretty good. But then I think I would have preferred to pay a little bit more for something more suitable.

Cons:

Most of it...
