Hotel outside looks poorly maintained but room was spotless and staff were extremely polite and helpful. No mention of the WiFi and there was a kettle and demerara sugar packets but no tea, coffee or milk. Large tv was nice and balcony was lovely to sit at in the evening. It seems the property is being renovated and this may be an issue for some. This however was a very cheap hotel and overall wasn't bad.
Booked in for two nights, we managed to check in early, staff were very good, bed was abit noisy and was very hot in the room, breakfast was good and we even had an evening meal which was brilliant. Parking situation was badly signposted but i cant see a solution to this due to space/location. Overall it was good and we would book again, granted we did book out of seasion so was fairly quited which was good, staff were very helpfull.
