Indoor swimming pool looked good. Room had been nicely refurbished, really good sized room.

Our King Superior room had "recently been updated". The bathroom was fine, but the rest of the suite felt like it had been done as cheaply as possible. It no longer had a couch in the main room but a Murphy bed instead, so there was only 4 unmatched chairs to relax in and watch TV. There was no microwave and when we went down to the kitchen to borrow theirs to make popcorn they refused to let us do it, but they set the timer for 30 seconds and then reset it for the same 3 times. More than half the bag did not pop. We asked for utensils to be brought up to the room and after an hour finally went down to retrieve them ourselves only to be told she has forgotten. They advertised a heated pool, but it was cold. A very average place to stay with poor customer service.

be careful - for some reason my WotIf booking dropped off, and they Hotel did not have the booking.
The facilities look like they're in the process of upgrading - rooms are lovely.... hallways etc not so much.

This place had all the facilities you needed and was close to the town, shops and supermarket. The building is a little tied in some areas but nothing bad enough not to stay there.

First stay back here since pre covid times! Check inn was quick easy and friendly staff were great,stayed in one of the renovated rooms and can say it was a nice room although the fridge and AC unit were very noisy,the other issue was (not the hotels fault) the amount of other guests slamming doors and speaking loudly in the corridors but above all else a nice stay great location plenty of parking on site Bar/Restaurant.
