Massively needs updating in all areas.
Very old, massively needs decorating and modernising and new windows. Our room was really cold and such a draft coming from the window and the puddles of condensation on the window sill that had ran off the window. The hotel bar is nice and there was a singer on which was good. Hotel staff were very friendly.

Lovely hotel but needs a little more updating to rooms. The carpets and curtains look tired. I did need to ask for the heating to be switched on a couple of nights. I do go back on solo trips each year because how great the staff are.

Poor value for money
We paid £235 for 2 nights in the hotel which was highly over inflated for the service provided. £115 a night to have to pay for parking, queue for check in, queue for a very average breakfast and use filthy toilets on the ground floor with empty soap dispensers. A Premier Inn stay would have been half the price and delivered in all of these areas particularly breakfast. I can't remember the last hotel I stayed in that only offered white or brown bread at breakfast and lumps of under cooked bacon that my son thought tasted like ham. To top it all we stayed in the car park for 1 hour whilst unloading and was told we wouldn't be charged by two staff and then recieved a £60 parking fine!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Decor was a bit weary, but the room was a fabulous size - also included a bath, which was super! Long corridors made for long walks, key card failed twice that didn't help - I reached my steps target without venturing far. Breakfast was good; buffet style with tea/coffee served on request. Service was excellent, and bar reasonably priced (cheaper than a local pub I went to). Tram service just outside the hotel is a real plus. Really enjoyed my stay.
