Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a convenient location near the town center, making it easy to find restaurants amidst many takeaways. The rooms are cozy with an extra pillow, a comfortable bed, and useful amenities like a fridge and a microwave. The service is attentive, and the welcome drink was a nice touch. However, the ongoing refurbishment makes it hard to give a full assessment. Overall, it offers good value for the price.
however, it is in a good area close to a very nice pub. The rooms are equipped with a shower, fridge, and microwave, along with a comfortable bed. The service includes a welcome drink and housekeeping. The dining offers simple dishes served by a lovely waitress. The facilities are not detailed.
The hotel is undergoing refurbishment, but I was lucky to find a restaurant nearby amidst various takeaways. The rooms are well-equipped with a shower, fridge, and microwave, providing comfort. However, the service could be improved, and the location, although close to the town centre, is affected by the ongoing refurbishment.
