Suprise visit to see family
Was ok. You can see what they are trying to do with the upgrades but bathrooms were still to be done and bedroom smelled of smoke as the perspn before had been smoking. Ash all over the windowsill where they had been hanging out. Main part of the hotel was nice but might off been better to close and do the refurb rather than have people staying.

Stayed at this hotel before over the years, room was lovely, paid for a deluxe, shower in the bathroom was a disgrace, hardly any pressure, you had to hold it, mentioned when checking out and they said were aware already!!! Breakfast was disappointing, cold food, cold plates, had to ask for bread for toast. Think it might be used at present for homeless. Receptionist was lovely and friendly. Foyer area has had a refurbish and very nice.

Paul

Disliked: Cleanliness
We were particularly disappointed with our room. The bathroom had cracked and broken tiles, towel rail torn from the wall, extract fan not working etc. The single beds were the smallest single beds I have ever experienced, dressing table was very badly stained, chair was covered in crumbs or particles of whatever, decor extremely poor, tv had only one channel we could access. For the costs charged we would have expected a much higher standard

Lovely surprise!
What a lovely surprise to find the foyer, bar and restaurant all refurbished. Feels amazing as you walk in. They're still in the process of doing the bedrooms, but even though ours was not done, still lovely and clean. The bed was so comfortable. The staff were very helpful, especially the manager. It was a delight.

Great Hotel
Very impressed. The hotel's main areas have been refurbished to a very high standard. So light, airy and fresh. Put a smile on my face as I arrived. They are in the process of updating the bedrooms, but even though ours wasn't done, it was lovely, clean, comfortable and the bed was really comfortable, with good pillows. I had an excellent night's sleep. The staff were really helpful, especially the manager. We will be back.

All great mostly
I did originally like the non carpet floors but found it very noisy in the corridors with people walking and doors banging. I could hear the music from last night but that was not an issue . A full mirror in the bedroom would have been nice. Unusual I thought not to have one. Everywhere nice and clean and everything me very friendly of course :)

im led to believe it was once a great hotel, then it went downhill, it looks like they are trying to make it great again, it does need alot of work, the reception and bar areas are really nicely done, the rooms are clean and adequate, the staff are very helpfull and obliging, but theres something not quite right, managment maybe
