Nice hotel convenient for business location I was visiting.
I was able to park in the car park behind the hotel. There would have been parking on the road if the car park was full.
Staff very friendly and obliging.
Evening meal excellent quality and value for money.
Corridor to ground floor single room 20 I was allocated was a bit narrow but well lit. There were emergency exits along this route and comprehensive safety signage throughout hotel.
I wasn't disturbed by the occupants of the neighbouring rooms so slept well.
Some road traffic headlights did shine in the bathroom window but with the door shut this didn't disturb the bedroom.
The free WIFI worked well - the key was available at reception.

Little Gem
Don’t be fooled by the exterior appearance as this was a little gem that we were very lucky to find.
Excellent service, superb room, great food and everything fitted to suit our timing needs. Definitely stay again if we’re working in the area.

Basically ok for an overnight stop over but staff could have been more helpful. The shower did not work properly in room. Slightly overpriced.

Half way house.
Good parking spaces. Reception looked okay and the breakfast area was tidy.
Rest of the place was run down. Room was old decor paper peeling from the wall and bathroom was just old and dirty, won't be back.

Pleasant Hotel, Clean and Friendly
Large room which was spotless. Everything worked as it should. Bed and mattress very good. Shower and toiletries all present and correct. A well cared for Hotel with a very pleasant lady who greeted me. I never eat breakfast so I cannot comment on the food. Overall a pleasant stay with no concerns.

Hotel
OK but a long way from excellent. Rooms were clean but no bedside lamps and poor ed coverings were a letdown. The shower pressure was very poor and it's fittings were oose. Breakfast was very good for a slf service buffet, however the toast was somewhat soggy. In general the hotel was a little bit delapidated and rather noisy. I will not be staying there again.

Payment hiccup but stay more than acceptable...
There could have been a hiccup before arriving, as the hotel tried to take payment early. After a couple of phone calls without answer and a message through the Internet, it was agreed that credit card payment would be taken in person on arrival, as per the booking through Hotels.com. Our stay at the hotel was more than acceptable, otherwise. The room was comfortable and the cooked breakfast met our expectations. We thought the stay good value for money and would certainly consider using the hotel again, when next in the area.

Character local hotel
Stayed here before but on this visit the room was more updated with decor and facilities
We stayed in room 1 which had a double and single bed configuration
There’s a bar on site and a few take aways down the road along with a couple of convenience stores nearby
Breakfast was great we had the full English but there was variation
Car parking is round the back and there’s also off road parking if needed
Hey it’s not one of the same chain hotels you can book on the outskirts of the town but the staff are very friendly and nothing was too much hassle for them to sort out
If you are looking for a budget hotel with a good location and facilities try the Columbia
