Horrible stay. Had to move rooms, water coming through the wall from a broken drain pipe with vegetation growing out of it. Hole in bathroom floor and broke tiles in very dated bathroom. Moved rooms and the bathroom was even worse. Black grout, dirty bath, water damage on bath panel and broke shelf. Unfortunately there were no other rooms available in any other town centre hotels or we would have moved. Breakfast was poor, not even proper orange juice and undrinkable coffee. This is not a four star hotel.

The receptionist was most unhelpful when we enquired about parking. We were advised to park (illegally) in the loading zone at the entrance, then later told to go to the hotel carpark, which we found locked and full. Then tried public car parks which were full, and finally returned to the illegal park at the front of the hotel. Eventually, after we had dined, we found space in a public car park - just as well I don't drink! All the other staff we encountered were wonderful.
