Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was wonderful, with great rooms featuring a balcony perfect for my 1-night visit. The service was outstanding, with friendly and welcoming staff always ready to assist. The location was ideal for my needs, easy to find with convenient parking. The dining experience was enjoyable, although a bit pricey for extra items. Facilities were top-notch, making my stay comfortable and relaxing.
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean and comfortable with coffee making facilities, but had a stale smell. The staff was friendly and helpful, offering excellent service. The location was decent for our activities but challenging to cross the dual carriageway. Dining was acceptable, but additional charges for extra breakfast items were a disappointment.
The hotel's location is so central to many interesting places, making it very handy with nice surroundings and a clean environment. The rooms were modern and clean, offering a balcony overlooking the dual carriageway that didn't bother me due to traffic noise not being an issue. The service was top-notch, with very nice and extremely helpful staff. The dining experience was excellent, especially the way breakfast was ordered by paper slips, and the food quality was great. However, the location could never be considered picturesque, and the price for dining was a bit on the higher side at £6.00 per day.
