Friendly staff, lovely and clean, well lit car park and decent breakfast.
Was clean friendly and good breakfasts although would have liked a more varied menu in the evening found it a bit limited. Loved the free parking and convenience to get into town.

Staff were lovely. Room and en-suite were clean, good towels, queen bed. Breakfast was fine. This is a budget hotel and was of a good standard. But sadly not great to be woken by a loud voice and booming music at 6am from the spinning class at the private sports club gym club adjoining the building.
I've stayed here several times now with my family. Consistently clean, quiet and comfortable. Breakfast is good, providing all the usual options. Staff at reception very helpful. We arrived very late, so 24 hour check-in was welcome.

Comfortable enough. Helpful & friendly staff. Room could do with a refurb/update.
Excellent hotel. Extremely helpful staff. Very clean and everything you need. Car parking was a good price at £5 per night. Great breakfast which was free! Much better than hotels I have stayed in where you have to pay extra for exactly the same breakfast.
Yes the room was clean. The staff freindly. BREAKFAST very good.
The bar was good Apart from no diet coke served or any diet drinks.
Told they had mushroom soup. When the soup it was chicken soup. I hate chicken.
