This is my fourth or fifth time staying here, room always clean and tidy. Location is excellent and breakfast is really good and lots to choose from. Staff are always helpful and friendly.
The staff here were lovely, breakfast was very good, and good location and (paid) parking. The room was very clean, possibly a little tired and needing a fresh coat of paint.
For the price we paid, this hotel was perfect for one night, shame we had a room with street noise and a double bed but we still had a comfortable stay, only a 5 minute walk to the town, and a continental breakfast to help us on our way the next morning, multi-storey car park across the road too, Thankyou.

Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Breakfast was great.
Very nice hotel. Room has all facilities, clean and comfortable. Breakfast area was overcrowded at times but we always managed to get a seat. Nice lounge area, cool and pleasant. Helpful staff, excellent location at the centre, particularly enjoyed access to the swimming pool nearby. Great value for money.
Central location, rooms clean and housekeeping each day. Only downside was breakfast overcrowded but it was half term so possibly not a fair reflection
The hotel itself was modern, the rooms were clean and the staff were helpful, so there were definitely some positives to our stay.
However, we were disappointed with the swimming pool arrangements. The pool is off site, and families could only use it between 9am and 12pm, which was very restrictive and not particularly useful for us.
Breakfast was also a bit of a nightmare in terms of seating. There simply weren’t enough tables and chairs available, and we ended up having to eat our breakfast sitting on a couch. The breakfast itself was nice though, and we enjoyed the food.
Overall, a clean and modern hotel with helpful staff, but the limited family swimming times and lack of breakfast seating really let the experience down.
