Pros:

The staff were amazing! They were incredibly helpful when I arrived late and still made sure I could access the property. The place was very clean, and I had a really comfortable night’s sleep. It was absolutely great value for money.

Thank you so much, guys, for your excellent service and hospitality. I really appreciate it!

Pros:

We arrived and our room wasn’t ready and it wasn’t a double bed, they just gave us a twin bed and they didn’t treat us really kind.

Cons:

The room was kinda big!

AVOID!!
Pros:

Bathroom and shower wasn't too bad. Room was quiet throughout the night despite being above the pub but this could be due to being a midweek day.

Cons:

Room was filthy with the skirting boards and carpet harbouring a year's worth of dust. The bedside cabinet had a Twix wrapper left behind it. Paint work was dirty, which includied a nasal crust complete with nasal hairs that had been left smeared on wall. Mattress was frayed at the seams. Window blind was disintegrating, with holes in it. Bedding and furniture was tatty.
Lesson learnt! Always read previous reviews. AVOID! Cheaper to get a spotlessly clean and spacious HolidayI Inn room that serves breakfast.

Only stayed one night and it served the purpose I needed. Roof over my head and a bed for the night.
Pros:

The people that sorted out the key to be left at an unreasonable hour 11pm are great. Everything explained via email how this could happen and went smoothly.

Cons:

I felt restless all night wouldn’t say it is the fault of the property just did not feel easy that I didn’t see any physical staff at all on my visit. The charging points in the wall didn’t seem to work at all and I did try both.

Good value for money.
Pros:

Good value for money. The bed and bathroom were clean and comfortable for a single person.

Cons:

The radiator dial was broken. It had been turned on before I checked in; and I couldn’t not turn it off. The room was too warm all night. The staff was not reachable to fix it. They did fix it the next day though.

Terrible
Pros:

It wasn’t dog friendly and I had to park my car across the very busy roads, then take my dog across. The room wasn’t clean and things were worn. Worse still there was very loud music/drumming/singing until at least 1.30am so I was shattered for my dog show the next day. In fact I booked another accommodation as I couldn’t bear to go back.

Cons:

All above the entrance was dirty and worse still there door wasn’t locked overnight so anyone could have burst into my bedroom from outside!!

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The place its quiet dirty, the hotel rooms are above of the pub ,we couldn't sleep until 1 am when the music stopped, very very loud, ..
The ,,hotel reception,, its across the road on the Indian restaurant, we didn't have nobody to complain about the issues even in the morning we couldn't because the ,,reception,,/restaurant was close..
Only if you are desperate for a place to stay for a night and you have no option you should book this hotel!!!
