Great last min booking
Last minute booking, standard family room for 3. Room was a decent size, comfortable beds. Only thing I would change is a longer shower curtain so it fits properly inside the bath. Used the the pool in the morning. All the staff we encountered were friendly.

I regularly stay at this hotel. Staff are friendly and helpful. Bar area is nice and food menu is good.
Pool, rooms and hallways could do with refurb but are ok. Shower curtains feel old fashioned now and plumbing is often noisy. There is also a general lack of AC in rooms and fans are insufficient replacement. In general its fine, hence my regular return.
One comment - car park charge of £7per night is extortionate, its not like they lack space.

I regularly stay at this hotel and find it meets my needs.
Gym is good and the pool is a bonus, whilst it is small and could do with a refurb, nice enough for a quick dip after work. (Gym staff provide locks and towels for hotel guests)
On this instance I requested to stay on the ground floor as recent stays in rooms on the first and second floors and they were unbelievably hot. Ground floor room was fine and met my needs perfectly.
Bar is well stocked and food options plentiful. Staff always pleasant and welcoming.
