The hotel itself was good. While it is a bit dated, we got two rooms that were adjoining. The temperature was not great. The breakfast was over priced for what we got.

Unusual place, but decent for being a budget hotel. Food quality for dinner was surprisingly good, buffet breakfast food quality was low, but if you don't mind about lower quality and are more interested in a large breakfast then you will be happy. For me, the bedroom temperature was set far to high.

Long way to go Hotel!
Flooded car park but nothing new for this hotel even when it was the Hilton.. Many years of this. New reception area, clean and inviting but after leaving there the best way of describing the hotel is run-down and shoddy, which needs lots of work carried out quickly in the stairways (distinct smell of damp), hallways and rooms. The room we had looked like there had been a flood in the bathroom with the bath panel curling up, the door splitting and peeling, the shower is about 20 years old, random brackets left on the wall which I guess were old towel rails but who knows? The room felt old and well used (mind you this hotel was used as an immigration refugee hotel until recently!) Getting a taxi from the hotel and back was a nightmare because firms did not know it had open its doors to the public again instead of temporary housing for other people! When taxi were sourced, the reputation of the hotel was lower than a snakes belly because of the people that were there! Not a good start in anyway for the hotel and if they don't announcing they are open as a normal hotel again with paying customers this will not be open for long. A lot of work to be done with the local companies i.e. taxi companied etc and loads of work internally urgently required to make it a place you want to stay at or even recommend.

Our room was an executive room so we expected it to be nice! We were above a pub, which played loud banging music until gone midnight, I’ve been in quieter nightclubs! The worse part was they started the music again at 6.30am!! No one wants to be woken up to people blaring out sweet Caroline at 6.30 on a Sunday morning! Totally disrespectful

People smoking outside windows until 1am, car park flooded to get to my vehicle on leaving. Someone took a number 2 in the hallway of hotel outside rooms and this was left there for considerable time. Guessing this hotel is being used to house immigrants/probation adults.
