For the price you can get much nicer rooms in the area. The room was old and the cupboard that has the spare pillows was full of dead ants. Food from the hotel was good and the lady at reception was nice. Only stayed here as the the ad said it had a gym well it didn’t. It had a couple of old broken down machines. Will give it a miss next time.

There was no hot water and the shower was leaking, the basin tap was loose. I tried to call in the morning about no hot water for a shower but nobody answered the phone. I have called since my return home to discuss the issues and was promised a callback. No callback so far. I won’t be staying there again and I have told my colleagues not to book here either.

Value for money, clean close to everything.
Very happy with cleanliness, service and the continental breakfast was a delightful bonus. It is a basic room with all that is required for a comfortable night.
