the Staff was very friendly, available and went above and beyond their duty to aid a senior couple, especially Mr. Iqbal. if we ever go back to UK, we would not hesitate to stay there again.

The rooms and facilities were in poor condition. It’s a good option as a transit hotel but not ideal for leisure stays. However, the staff provided excellent customer care, compensating for the shortcomings.

The staff were very nice. The room was clean and comfortable. Unfortunately the lead for the kettle could only b plugged in if you took the plug out of the tv. But I believe they r addressing this. Also I couldn’t get terrestrial tv, but that was possibly me. I had to go through apps.
The bed was really comfy and the room was what ever temperature you wanted it to be. I would stay again.
Although it might b good if they get slow closing doors, as you do hear your neighbors
The hotel had no cold water conditions very poor checking in poor the worse hotel I bern to since travelling over 40 years however was told by night security hotel closing down its a shame as if money pushed in there good be up and running again
Hotel needs urgent refurbishment
I thought I was in a concentration camp or an open prison with manor man bates the guy whom checked us in
This hotel has seen better days . Looks like it hasn’t had money spent on it for many years . Many rooms look like they’ve been abandoned. Outside is being used to dump equipment for road works eg signs cones

Staff were very friendly & helpful. Although I would suggest they have more than 1 member of staff on at night time. Room, although outdated, was clean enough. Beds were uncomfortable and the noise of the doors opening/closing was a bit to much. But it’s a nice quirky little hidden gem.
Hotel in total need of a update
Room drab.
Bed mattress you could feel all the springs, completely uncomfortable.
Would definitely not recommend

Was overnight stay attending a local function, there was no food, so breakfast was in town. Staff are friendly, place is functional for sleep overs, but not much more. 80/90s decor, but clean

Heating took a while to take effect, and the curtains so thin that the outside lights disturbed my sleep.
