This will be a 5 day review, as that's how long I'm going to be there.
The check in was quick and very friendly.
The room was clean and well laid out.
The room offered basic requirements like, Tea, Coffee, TV, free 30 minutes of WiFi and a safe. The thing about the safe is that It's 1.50 per day which I think is a-bit steep
OK, the first meal was only moderate to say the least.
I had breaded mushrooms. YUK, they tasted like leftover mouldy socks.
Then, Chicken and Bacon BBQ with limp salad. The only redeeming course was the lemon tart. Oh well, maybe the breakfast will be better.
At one point I had to open my mouth( not a pretty site) to show the waitress that I was eating and couldn't answer her questions, Six times she asked on the first course.
A Good night sleep, NO, Well not the first night anyway, This probably was because I don't like sleeping away from home,
So Breakfast, Smells great, The waiter was very helpful and he had to be on happy pills, Is that a good thing, not sure at 7 in the morning.
I had the option of a full English or fruit and cereal, I have to Admit the cooked breakfast looked great but since I am on a diet I opted for the cereal .
So back to the hotel after a very long winded training course.
Evening Meal, I decided to have something different this time,
Prawn Cocktail for starters, OK 5 Prawns and a glass full of green leaves that would cover the table top with out gaps, I kid you not. I left it as you can imagine. For the main course I opted for the Chicken curry. This to my surprise was very nice, It has a medium hot kick and tasted like chicken. I chickened out on the pudding and went for the Lemon again, That's how nice it was.
I had a much better sleep only woke up once during the night .
Again the Waiter was on happy Pills, I can see that getting very old very quick. As expected I enjoyed toast and fruit.
So went down for Tea about 7.30 and the place was full seems that a buss load arrived today, TV was Blaring away with the football and the only table left was right infront of a speaker. I didn't stay long.
So I had sticky chicken coujons, basically means 4 strips of chicken with lemon honey and 4 pieces lettuce( maybe they should take some out of the Prawns)
Main was a cheese burger with chips, After a slight mishap with getting my order completely wrong my food was brought back out, Left half of the burger, more due to the noise of the TV rather than the food itself, I took the desert back to the room
Last evening meal of my stay, Bit of a turn around, I wanted some Pate but it wasn't available on my menu, So I thought I would push my luck and guess what, They let me have it and it was really nice. Unfortunatley the main course was a big let down. Beef Lasagna, tasted like dog food, ( well it smelt like dog food ) and it was a shame because the pasta was perfect.
Look basically you get what you pay for in this hotel, Its still ten times better than a travel lodge, and the foods not that great, but you don't have to eat here, you can go out. overall 2 2an a half stars I think read more
