Good stuff first: staff very friendly and helpful, fussed over me at breakfast; the breakfast is really good value, well cooked and the bathrooms have been recently refurbished, so bright and clean (could do with a few hooks to hang things on though). Now the not-so-good. You are yards from a dual carriageway, so don't open the windows unless you like noise, the car park is laid out for minis, so people with SUV's and 4x4's stand out as antisocial, I literally couldn't open my door in the first space I tried, you enter the hotel via the service entrance, so along with the laundry and rubbish, rooms 1 & 2 face the car park, so have a bright white light on all night which the blinds do not block out (should really have light proof curtains) the room was very dingy and unfortunately smelt .... badly; it should have a professional deoderising deep clean. In essence, it has all the basics, but leaves a lot to be desired.
