Good points - comfortable room. Poor points - terrible service in the bar (waited 35 mins for fish and chips - apparently there was an issue with the fish). Breakfast was a disaster - staff too happy to talk. Shown to a dirty and un-wiped table. Buffet poor. Coffee setbed cold. Cooked breakfast wasn't bad..
Staff overall are friendly.
Check in/out - Reception was friendly but not experienced. At 11pm I returned to the hotel. Bar closed and reception drinks menu out of many drinnks on their list.

Nice big room
Family triples single bed was very comfortable(but some part of interior needs to be upgraded such of one of the basins taps was broken,and the bathroom ceiling had a removed spotlight dump marks)
on the 1st morning the breakfast was quite disappointing as receptionist said when the customers less the breakfast cooked by order that foods you can eat is very limited, but the 2nd morning we had buffet breakfast and that was far more satisfying than the first day,we enjoyed very much .
