My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and had all the basic necessities, though they looked a bit tired in some areas. The service was friendly and accommodating, with flexible check-out times. The location worked well for me, with free parking and being within walking distance of the town center. The dining experience was average, with room for improvement in the food quality. However, the facilities met my needs during my stay.

My stay at the hotel was a bit disappointing overall. The room was small, and the bed was really squeaky, in need of some attention. On the bright side, the staff were friendly, and the breakfast was great. The location was not too bad, but the property could use some refurbishment.

6.6/10

I found this hotel to be a real disappointment. The room was like a poor charity shop, dirty, and definitely not worth the £50 I paid. On a positive note, the service was unexpectedly nice, with staff accommodating a different breakfast time for me. The location was ideal for the town center, but the lack of proper maintenance since the 70's was evident.
