The staff were very friendly, a great asset to the hotel. My room was lovely and clean i thought. Breakfast was great with lots of choice as well. It was close too town centre too.
The room i had did not have any sockets near the bed. This is not ideal and quite unusual these days i feel. The interior itself could do with an upgrade. The bathroom looks a bit shabby for me.

The hotel had a very large car park, a detail I always appreciate when traveling by car.
My experience included a couple of notable issues. The hot tap in the sink was loose, moving a full 180 degrees when used. The bath plug did not seal properly. Water continually drained away, so a bath was out of the question (a rather disappointing situation).
