Yes the place needs a lot of tlc however my room was spacious and clean. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Parking was great. Breakfast, I wasnt expecting much, but it was actually very good and tasty. Shame the hotel is closing next week. But if it weren't, I would definitely stay again.

Lovely friendly and helpful staff
Great breakfast cooked to order and very good quality
The rooms were large and clean
The location great
The rooms and shared areas would benefit from modernising
Very friendly helpful staff working well with the hotel being given TLC. Managed to park at the hotel. Very well situated for the high street and entertainment. Breakfast very tasty with a good selection - thanks 😉
Great central location with easy on site parking. Excellent value for money including a great full English breakfast. Despite having booked a double room, check in staff helpfully reallocated us a twin accessible room on the ground floor as I’m currently on crutches. All staff were super friendly and helpful throughout our short stay.
The room was very clean and neat. The breakfast was great. The staff very helpful and friendly. It was so hot. Please think about supplying fans for each room.
