-not enough staff for check in -no bathrobes but pool a long distance from rooms -poor system for pool/gym access where need to go to reception each time to request a physical card to access pool area only valid for 1 hour -no towels in pool area (poor re-stocking) -filthy chairs in restaurant that need discarding -poor system for shampoo / shower gel where only tiny amount in large bottle in case customers take with them (finished in one day and not refilled!) -rusty tables in otherwise pleasant pool area -emergency telephone in pool/gym area not connected Hotel itself is very good for families and good value. Rooms comfortable and good balance of comfort/ economy. Location is excellent. Shane it is poorly managed and under staffed.

My room was nice and clean. It was quiet. I tried the breakfast once and it was a very good English breakfast but a bit expensive. There is a co-op supermarket right opposite of the hotel that provides more affordable food options. I appreciated the two free bottles of water I got every day. One with still and one with sparkling water. The shower was fantastic. It was spacious with a variety of options to configure how the water falls. I was there with my bicycle and the hotel does not have bicycle parking so I used the cycle parking at the train station right next to it. During the night the handlebar grips and and bicycle chain were stolen from it. Apart from that the area around the hotel looks nice and newly developed. I used the gym a couple of times. It is rather small and limited but is useful for some evening exercise. The process to get there is a bit tedious. Every time a guest wants to visit the gym, pool or sauna he has to get a plastic touch card from reception on the ground floor to get in. The card only works once so next time you go you have to go to reception again for a new card. I didn't use the pool. Every time I checked there were lots of people there with their kids and it was way to busy for my taste. The pool and sauna close at 9pm, the gym at 10pm so if you are working during the day and want to use them in the evening after dinner, there is not much time. All in all I enjoyed my stay.

Loved everything about this property. Family and dog friendly. Extremely clean and well maintained. Only minor downside - not enough food spots within walking distance, however the co-op is right across the street.

Very modern hotel just outside of the city centre. Very quiet inside especially as it overlooks the rail tracks. Swimming pool a nice little added bonus but small. Very dusty rooms and the corridors very dirty.

The rooms were clean, beds comfortable and the facilities were spot on. Although the space saving bathroom was not to our liking. The cooked breakfast was delicious. Staff were friendly, polite and informative. Would recommend and definitely come back again.

Hotel was fine. The pool was small & really busy. I had some money stolen from our room by the cleaner. Complained twice to reception to try & resolve the situation while staying- got told management would be in touch. Nobody contacted me. Complained again at check out. Told management would call. Over a week on and no call.
