The hotel offers excellent rooms with large and comfortable beds, plenty of refreshments, and toiletries, but the outdated decor doesn't quite justify the £150 per night rate. The service is top-notch, with accommodating and pleasant staff who are always ready to assist. The location is brilliant, within walking distance to a lovely city center, although the heavy perfume scent might be overwhelming. The dining experience varies with good service but poor quality food. Overall, a mixed bag but great for a quick stay.

The hotel was just what we needed for our wedding party, with spacious, clean, and tidy rooms that were perfect for our requirements and in a great location for walking into the center within 10 minutes. While it might be fine for a one-night stay overall, it was a good choice for us.

6.8/10

The hotel offers good-sized rooms close to the main town but with some issues like old appearance and stuffy atmosphere. The service is friendly but with some minor mishaps, such as confusing room service timing. The location is convenient for some purposes but lacks charm due to its industrial estate surroundings. The dining experience has some positives but also drawbacks like cold dishes. Overall, the hotel provides a decent stay with some room for improvement.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms, although looking old and tired, are a good size and close to the main town. However, the inability to open a window properly made the room stuffy. On the bright side, having a fan and coffee making facilities was a nice touch.

Service

8.0

The service staff are very friendly and helpful, though there were some instances of rolling eyes during interactions. Despite that, they all went for their tea together at 17.30.

Location

6.0

The location is very convenient, being walking distance from the train station, but the industrial estate surroundings in a slightly down-at-heel part of town and confusing access to the car park somewhat detract from the experience.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience had its ups and downs. While there was a wide choice and excellent dishes, some items like the sausages were not up to par. The grilled vegetables were commendable.

Facilities

6.0

The facilities at the hotel were decent, offering basic amenities. However, improvements can be made to enhance the overall guest experience.
