Decent for the price we paid.
Breakfast was great.
Room on the small side and the aircon in the room needed a service as we all started coughing when it was on. The windows cannot be opened, so we ended up with stale air.

Room was fine, very spacious, my only issue was that I waited over an hour for my food in the restaurant and this was only because I mention it to the staff that I had been waiting that long, I was offered a free beverage due to the wait.

Generally OK
1st impressions on entering hotel were good. Staff seem friendly and reasonably attentive. Distinct smell of bleach in the room. Room and furnishings were clean but tired and in need of refurb. The bed and pillows were the most uncomfortable I’ve ever experienced in any hotel, across the world! Food pretty good but way overpriced

Enjoyable stay
We were checked in to a room that hadn't been cleaned , we were quickly given an upgraded room with a free drink and snack we didnt complain as rooms get missed im sure .. breakfast was lovely, a bit of a free-for-all at first ,no cutlery lack of cooked food dirty tables,but it soon calmed down and between 9.30 and 10 am there was plenty of everything, we would definitely return.

I moved the tv as it was a better high for me to do my paperwork and there was some popadom kindly left under it. The cleaning staff seemed rushed off their feet so to be fair I’m not blaming them!
The staff on arrival were really helpful.
The one lift really sounded bad tho but the overall stay was fine

Expensive cheap hotel
Expensive for a budget hotel. Parking £12 per night is expensive for guests.
