Reviews and Ratings
Upon arrival, I was charged an extra £25 deposit for the double bedded room but was assured of a refund upon departure. The room was clean, tidy, and warm. The breakfast was satisfactory, but the total room cost came to £314.
The hotel was warm and a bit noisy due to road proximity, but the staff were cheerful and helpful till late. The location was convenient near our desired area, yet the dining options were pricey without much variety.
The hotel rooms were available on the ground floor and away from the road, but they cost a lot for what was offered. The service, while friendly, seemed sloppy with minimal customer care training. The location was a bit problematic due to ongoing construction nearby, and the dining experience, though with good quality produce, had inconsistencies. Overall, a mixed experience with both positives and negatives.
Arriving at the hotel, I found the rooms clean and of a good size with two double beds made up, making for a pleasant stay. The service was efficient and friendly, with a nice self-service option. The location, though noisy from the motorway, was very convenient for my needs. The dining experience was good for the price paid, but some dishes were poorly cooked. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives to consider.
