The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although small and with a cigarette smell, were very clean, large, comfortable, and well stocked with supplies. The service was friendly and professional, offering good amenities, but lacked immediate late-night assistance. The location was convenient but fell short in the dining experience with some poorly cooked dishes. Overall, a reasonable option with strengths and weaknesses.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room was huge and absolutely gorgeous, with a comfortable 4 poster bed. The breakfast was very good, and overall, it was a brilliant experience. The only downside was that the last refurbishment was in the eighties.

The location couldn't be more central, great for exploring the town and local area. However, the noise from the kitchen sink was constant and quite bothersome.

I was really looking forward to having a room with a bath, but unfortunately, it hadn't been refurbished since the eighties. Despite that, the room was a bit too hot even with the window open. However, the service was top-notch, and I believe they would have provided a fan if I had asked, even in the middle of the night. The location was great for my needs, although the noisy beer barrel deliveries under my window were a downside. The dining experience was lovely in a bright dining room, but the packaged beef could have been a bit better. Overall, a pleasant stay with a mix of positives and negatives.

The dining experience was pleasant in a sunny dining room, but the beef could have been cooked on the premises for a fresher taste.

The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms with all the extras, although it can get chilly despite the radiator on max. The service is top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff who go the extra mile. The location is convenient for exploring on foot, but some areas need attention. The dining experience varies from subpar to excellent. Overall, a mixed but satisfying stay.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The room, although spacious and good with shower over bath, was a little too hot despite having the window open. The hotel itself was in need of some refurbishment, with ripped curtains, stains on the walls, and dirty carpets. On the bright side, the hotel staff were very helpful and went the extra mile. The location was very central near great pubs and the local brewery, but a little sparse and could have done with some background music. The dining experience, although consisting of good quality produce, was a bit disappointing with no local farm sausages. Overall, it's a comfortable stay but with room for improvement.
