Mould in the grout in the shower. Lighting in the room was very bad, almost in darkness despite all lights being on. Cleanliness was very good, bed comfyl

Convenient location to Main Street. Welcoming desk staff. But..Safe did not work, room very dark and poorly lit. Additional desk lamp had no switch, needed to turned off at the wall each time. Shower cycled rapidly from too hot to too cold - impossible to stand under spray for more the 5 secs. Cannot understand lack of included daily service - requires additional 5 pounds per day for trash to be emptied, coffee to be replenished. Located on noisy walk through from Main street to parking area.

It’s tired, it’s very basic, clean and functional but not somewhere I would use again. It’s basically a motel, a room with a bed a shower and a kettle. TV is old and dated , decor is very worn. No bar, no breakfast just a room. It’s comparable to a Travelodge. At £75 it would be acceptable value but it’s hugely overpriced.

Arrived late at night and was greeted by a lone receptionist who checked me in and handed key card and explained how to enter code to room. What she didn’t say was that there are no light in the area that you have to enter a code to get through to the rooms, after dropping off bags the hotel is right on the high street , so great for dining options, I went to the Giggling Squid Thai. After a good nights sleep in a comfy bed it was time for a nice hot shower before leaving at 6am. However the shower was cold, and after running the water for 5 mins,still stayed cold. Not what you want in October.
My room had a bedside table still sticky from beer or contents of drinks and there was mould and shower trays falling apart
Not the best hotel stay I have had
