Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Hotel was clean & comfortable, free parking with entry/exit barriers was a plus.
Overall the hotel looks tired, in need of a refurb/modernising.
Rates were competitive and within our budget.
Food was mediocre and a little overpriced, nevertheless I would recommend it.
Loved staying in this hotel. The staff is lovely, friendly and helpful. Breakfast excellent. Parking is great. Spa and pool is wonderful. The hotel itself is showing signs of wear and tear little bit and it could be cleaner.
I would stay here again, it’s a nice hotel.
Absolutely fantastic service at this hotel, the staff could not do enough for us and obviously enjoy working there.Lovely room eith all we needed.Swimming pool, spa and gym included on site.The buffet breakfast had a wide choice of eberything you could want.Definately the place we will stay next time.
Friendly check-in and staff, comfy bed and room, nice shower and swimming pool, great variety for breakfast - Perfect for the price

Great staff, decent hotel
Only a one night stay but suited our needs. Receptionist (didn’t get name) was brilliant on arrival and departure. Very welcoming, helpful and chatty. Room was good with all we needed. Very good breakfast and, again, staff member on entering was very pleasant and helpful.
Hotel ideally located and would stay again if in that area.
