A nice old-style inn with the loveliest staff
The welcome here is warm and genuine. The corridors are faded and in places smell a bit funny but the rooms are clean with lovely bedlinen, a proper wardrobe and two chairs- most hotels only provide one in standard rooms.. Bathroom was sparkling and spacious, but nowhere to put toiletries etc except on the sink or the tiny shelf below the mirror - not a big deal for one night, might get annoying for two or three. Good breakfast, large portions for cooked food. We were charged twice for the room but that may be a function of the app as the hotel only got one payment - they are looking into it for us. Once that's sorted out we will definitely stay there again.

Able bodied only
Not good for anyone with a disability, no ground floor rooms, no lift, too many steps up and down, even a high step up to the bathroom. No other room available.

Good location but a tired hotel
Hotel is ideally located, quality and overall room condition is well below average standards. Shower regulater didn't work, although a late booking, the shower was larger than shower space the fixtures were dated, although some upgrading in some places ongoing. Breakfast was ok and the staff was helpful and friendly. The carpets are well used an tired

Perfect for a business trip.
Free car park but quite small and tight. Stayed here twice and got a space ok both times. Rooms are small and basic but clean and comfortable. Breakfast was from 7am and was excellent. Staff very friendly.

Sun and Nightclub next door
The Sun was generally tired but clean and staff were polite. Our issue was the nightclub next to the hotel our room overlooked Sun Street were taxis and picks up were happening along with large crowds of rowdy nightclub individuals at one point 50 plus of them right below our room. Noise went on until 2.15am Nightmare night of sleep.

No respect
Me and my parter checked in around 3am then but got advised to call the number on the door and the nightstaff was very kind and helpful upon arrival checked us in no issues. I only booked the hotel because i was under the assumption i could check out at 12pm which was my mistake. We woke up around 11:30am by the manager I'm guessing, repeatedly knocking on the door to which my partner opened the door and said were just getting ready sorry we'll be a few mins. The lady then repeatedly kept knocking to which then i opened the door and said yes we heard you sorry were literally leaving. Then the lady then said were meant to check out at 11 so we're going to be charged for it and that she was going to call the police! I was sooo SHOCKED IN DISBELIEF i replied " sorry " ??? Im still shell-shocked by the attitude she had against us and have also taken it further by letting head office of green to deal with incident that occurred because nobody should have the right to speak to anyone like that. We simply checked in and went straight to sleep within 15-20 mins as we were both shattered. She was an eastern european lady with no professional experience in talking to customers. Highly rude and avoid her at all costs. Im sure head office will certainly take this seriously once reading the email of ordeal we went through. Disgraceful and absolutely appalled by how she conducted herself.

Filthy room, came away with bites either from fleas I guess or bed bugs. Bathroom was very dirty, window ledges dirty, very dusty everywhere. Also noisy.
