Liked: Room comfort
Good for a overnight stay via hotels.com
Room was average and not the one that i thought i was booking in picture from the site. Bed was comfotable pillows were nice. Carpets are looking a bit tired . Breakfast was good, but not worth the normal price. Bathroom needs some attention on the ceilings. View was the car park. Good for a quick overnight stay.

Rooms very tired looking, wet carpet due to a leak and made the room smell. Wasn’t picked up during daily room service (stayed 4 nights) and when I reported it, there was no apology or thanks. Reception staff not friendly however I couldn’t fault bar/restaurant staff and conference staff, their attentiveness is the reason I will return for meetings only

Rooms are tired and quite frankly, dirty. The carpets to the rooms are actually sticky, bathrooms have paint peeling and the rooms on the ground floor smell of damp. The restaurant is good but the menu is limited. They have one delivery on a Thursday so if you follow a busy weekend it’s a bit pot luck. One positive was that the beds are comfy and it is relatively cheap. Who is giving 10/10 reviews? They clearly don’t stay away often. 4 stars hotel, maybe in 1980.
