friendly staff gluten free choices helpful receptionist dog charge marked carpet loud hand dryers
The staff was lovely and friendly! I enjoyed the gluten free choices they had. The receptionist was helpful and the waiting staff too.
The dog charge felt a little steep AT £15 a night. The carpet had a lot of marks. my room was close to the public restroom SO the hand dryers were sometimes loud.

I got a ground floor room because of my mobility issues. I found a comfortable bed. A power shower left me feeling invigorated. The staff were always helpful, pleasant, and cheerful. The full English breakfast was delicious. Car parking was secure and close to the entrance because of the disabled bays.
The hotel was a bit disorganised. On check in, directions to get to my room was not provided.

dirty windows early morning noise
Honestly, the room i got, a so-called classic twin room, looked directly onto some pipes and what i guess was the roof. windows were so dirty i barely saw out anyway, so maybe it was a blessing. then there was the noise. Was like the folks upstairs were training for a marathon at 4 a.m., i swear. the hotel claimed it was full, yet somehow couldn't move me. sure, Jan.
