Booking was simple online although does not include parking, which i always think is a total scam, i cannot teleport to a hotel can I. £5 a night, cheaper than some but i still disagree with this Mis leading charge (anywhere, not just here).
Check in was great, staff very friendly and helpful. Not a great deal of parking out front plenty out back and a place to stop near the door and unload if needed, otherwise a trek with cases. Lift was practically pointless it was so slow, i think we used it once and didn't bother after, always way ahead of those waiting for it.
We discovered they do food in the evening so decided that would be easiest dinner. After waiting about 10 mins for service, They did not have my first choice of meal so i went for pizza, my partner had a pasta bake. I am sad to say the pizza was probably the worst i ever had, or that i can remember. A 10" pizza Hard as rock over cooked one side, soft and barely cooked the other, i ate it and the pepperoni was nice. The pasta bake was from a packet by the looks of it and was so small we almost had to magnify it to see it. Considering these meals are just under £10 i would advise not to bother, half way thru i remembered KFC down the road and wish we had gone there instead, not a healthy choice but would have been better.
The restaurant area was cold as a fire exit was open but they did put the heat up for us when asked.
The room was very nice and well equipped and very nice happy to stay here again for the rooms thats for sure, all clean too. The shower was a drizzle but i have had worse.
Wifi is included - well 512kps is included after waiting 10 mins for a photo to load on Facebook i gave up, again i am not prepared to pay their extra £3 charge for standard 2GB internet, higher charges for better, another hidden Con sadly and again common these days.
Breakfast was actually pretty good, scrambled eggs, sausage beans and toast as well as cereals. Coffee was from a machine and pretty damn awful but as expected from these places these days. Was able to fill up for the day and not feel sick, better than some places if you travel a lot.
Summary - Very handy to town, would stay in the decent rooms, would not eat dinner, good breakfast, might have tea instead of coffee next time. Don't wait for the lift unless you want to see a photo on the internet in which case you have the time. read more
