    The property is under renovation. The result is no restaurant, noisy workmen at 9pm???? The only positive factor is the location No housekeeping as our room was not attended to at all.

    Location The breakfast. It was inedible. badly cooked and very greasy with hard fried eggs, and not much choice.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Location is great for the station Cleanliness was totally absent in the bathroom. The shower was a disgrace ,with black mould.Despite advising the hotel how to clean it they did half a job, leaving me no choice then to complain . A HOTEL should never,ever have black mold inside and outside a shower. The whole bathroom left a lot to be desired and needs to be ripped out and replaced ASAP I would never expect a Hotel to give a guest a room with a bathroom as dirty as that...

    Location Cleanliness and poor bathroom facilities. Sink coming away from the wall

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Location very good, under 5mins walk to the station. Late check-in was also appreciated. WiFi was good. Beds were just acceptable, not up to Premier Inn standards. Hot water took A LOT of running before it came through. Breakfast selection was limited & not very tasty, service was sometimes slow, possibly this was affected due to refurbishment work in the usual dining area. The main room light in room 21 wasn't working. General appearance of the place was quite tired.

    The location and the effort that the staff put into making us welcome. Tired in places but there are serious efforts with new decorations and carpets. The breakfast was fine but had run out of several items on the menu.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Not much to like. Towels were good. No hot water on one day and had to have a cold shower. Poor complaints management. Breakfast poor. Everyone was complaining about everything. Two women complained that their bedroom door didn't lock properly

    Exceptional

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Recent renovations have really made this a perfect place to stay at its price. Excellent breakfast. When I stayed was a work in progress nearing completion.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Not a lot. The toilet had a bad smell & damp on the ceiling.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Close to places of interest Needs updating

    Passable

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    We managed to get one of the six parking spots by the hotel. There was no indication the kitchen/restaurant was closed during our stay, This meant we ad to walk to a different hotel for our evening meal, not a good result for 2 people who have difficulty walking. The shower was difficult to operate and get the correct temperature, not helped as taps were the wrong way round, cold to left, hot to right.
