Not terribly impressed.
Cons:

Whilst having breakfast at 8.30 the cleaner didn’t service my room as I had left a ‘do not disturb’ notice which I took into my room at 9.15am. When I queried this with management I was told that the cleaner starts at 9!! I hadn’t realised guests had to make sure the do not disturb sign had to be removed by 9 am to suit the hours of the hotel staff otherwise one’s room wouldn’t be serviced during the rest of the day!!

Read pretty negative reviews on Google so was apprehensive about booking. But actually preferred this to our recent stay
Pros:

Really lovely welcoming reception, hotel is dated but you should expect this in a 1970’s hotel. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was as expected, full english with plenty of light options, cereals fruit etc. downside was the restaurant was not open on the 2 evenings we stayed, but plenty of food options close by. Was even allowed to have a food delivery to reception if we wished.
car parking on site. Good location with shops and Clark’s village outlet a short walk away.

Cons:

Nothing negative, we just wanted a place to sleep as we were out all day. This was perfectly adequate.
