Old, well worn and with hidden costs like paid parking even though the hotel is well out of the city with its own large parking lot. Cheap but not cheap enough to stay again.
Stayed 2 nights in May 2025

We regularly stay here because of the spa, the breakfasts, the dining options in the evening & ease of parking. The staff are polite, friendly and efficient. The new pancake machine at breakfast is a good addition.

Hotel quite dated now, especially rooms. Large car park which you get charged for if you don't book direct with the hotel, so worth noting. Also, can be quite noisey especially during school holidays when lots of families running up and down corridors.

They had a elevator, that was nice. You have to reserve you time to use the pool/spa area. The restaurant was good. Overall the services were normal but impersonal just like many larger hotels (I normally choose smaller places but went with this one for the use of the hot tub/ pool that I didnt end up getting to use) Good tea and coffee selection. Comfortable bed, bathtub had a few paint splatters
