As many people have said, this is an older hotel and so many of the fixtures and fittings are a little tired. But it is clean and comfortable and the staff are very polite and helpful. Iur room was slightly on the small side but it was acceptable. Free water and biscuits was a nice touch.

Night staff can barely string a sentence together so check in became a two word exchange almost. No welcome or anything remotely like a welcome you’d get at any other hotel.
