I've stayed at this hotel a few times on business. It's cheap and cheerful, well cheerful until the food eventually arrives. Very bland and not what it's says on the menu. Rooms are very basic and in need of a refurb. On the plus side the shower was good!!

Good choice for the evening meal, and the menu was changed on both nights. My only slight grumble on the dinner was if you wanted a bread roll they wanted to charge 45p. Breakfast had... More
