Hotel was nice enough but tired looking - needs to be thoroughly cleaned and redecorated. Breakfast was nice but certain items weren't being replenished. I would stay again as long as the price was right.

Our third stay here. Breakfast was disappointing this time - overcooked food, making it dry and not very nice. Staff were friendly and welcoming but often slow service in the bar area. Comfortable and clean but could do with a refresh.
