Everything i needed was provided.

Everything i needed was provided. The front counter staff were friendly and efficient. Was away all the day so no contact with cleaning staff but everything was done on my return. Used the bar and restaurant on a number of occasions and very relaxing. Location was good and close to everything.

service from reception excellent,

service from reception excellent, large room extra queen bed not needed, perhaps a lounge that could double as a bed so when not used can create more space in the room? but bed comfortable to sleep in. good to have fridge, room and reception great breakfast ok , dinner tasted good when we finally got it waiter polite but service way too slow, only people in restaurant and over 1 hour wait for food at 6pm at night. deal through [website] very good,and for us location perfect.

Great location, had to change rooms

When we got to the hotel, the room we were given was very dirty and old. We asked for a room change and were obliged for a room change the next day.

The receptionist when we checked

The receptionist when we checked in was rude, mumbled and had trouble meeting the eyes of guests. She initially ignored us for ten minutes whilst she kept talking to another hotel employee. The room, whilst a decent sze and containing two double beds, smelled badly of damp and mildew. It stayed with us for the 24 hours we were in the room. The white curtains were also mildewed. Staff in restaurant were helpful and cheerful as was the receptionist on our departure.
