Stayed here on our wedding night. Despite being dressed in morning suit and wedding dress the hotel refused to let us check in as we "didnt have the card we booked with and could do a runner". Eventually we were let into our room an hour later. The hotel manager later said this was acceptable and would offer no apology.... more

A very comfortable corporate hotel with very high standards of food and service. more

Our bedroom was a good size, modern and clean. The receptionist made an effort to change our allocated room since we arrived early and the original one was not ready, which was a great start. Two main criticisms: the large carpark is controlled by a barrier and it's not clear that this will rise automatically when you approach, so it's... more

Never stayed in a worse place. Pompous arrogant manager and crap service. Never ever again Complete hole more

The room was OK at best with two singles zipped together to... more

Despite external appearances (80's build, Wimpey Home style) this is a lovely hotel. I'm not quite sure what inspired the Andy Warholesque prints of Mohammed Ali along the corridors, but the whole place is really nicely finished. The room was spacious, compfortable & spotlessly clean, as was the bathroom. There really was no cause for complaint about this place at... more

Stayed here for two nights, staff were really friendly and helpful and the fact that you can use the fitness first gym over the road for free is excellent. You can walk into the town in about 5-10 mins which is good and the parking at the hotel is free. Only downside was the room was SO hot and we... more
