Helpful and friendly reception staff. Breakfast area looked nice. But the full English itself was awful. And the bedroom was extremely dated with the most uncomfortable bed. The ensuite needs replacing too. I would not stay there again.

Drab rooms, the only bit of the hotel that looked decent was the reception. But the staff were alright. The bed was decent in the room but that’s where the good things end.
The wallpaper was peeling, there was mold in the sealing on the bathtub in the bathroom - a room that didn’t even have a lock. There were awkard divots in the ceiling that made showering awkward.
The carpets were drab, the hallways had no attention. The towels and floor mat for the bathroom were stained. The 3 nights I stayed I had to deal with an annoying beep coming from a door in the corridor. I let reception know about it but nothing was done to stop the beep. It was so persistent and I could hear it from my room so I ended up having to play music to cover the noise in attempt to sleep.
The wifi was so bad all work I intended to get done was not possible.
The breakfast choices were basic and there were no variations in hot breakfast. It was full English and the vegetarian option was the full English minus the meat. There was no choice in different types of egg, only scrambled and the continental breakfast options were seriously limited. Even the fruit juices tasted insanely cheap, I’m not even sure they had real apple juice.
The car park was down a very large steep and is in desperate need of repaving.
The walls of the rooms were insanely thin so you could hear everything from the neighbouring rooms.
Don’t stay here. It’s not worth even the little money you may give them.

Unfortunately this was the worst hotel stay I have ever had. ‘Refurbished’ in the description only referred to the front/ reception and bar area of the hotel, which did look lovely. But up the stairs and the rooms were the polar opposite.
Our room was in serious need of repair, and was also dirty/ some substances splashed up the walls and on the head board. the bed was the most uncomfortable bed with springs pushing into your back even through the duvet (we slept over the duvet).
The walls were paper thin and were woken multiple times through out the night to drunken guests running around the corridors, shouting and banging. As well as being able to hear EVERYTHING being done and said in the bedroom behind us.
I would highly recommend the place being shut until it is refurbished and cleaned!
The breakfast was very basic, no staff greeted us or took our order. I had to go to the reception to ask what was on offer. When we did see the staff they seamed confused. I witnessed a staff member ‘cleaning’ the table once a guest left for breakfast, with just a napkin that was left on the table.
We will not be returning and highly advise other hotels to guests thinking of staying there.
I have never left a bad review for a hotel before, I am very shocked and disappointed by this.

Friendly staff room was basic but comfortable enough for us as we only stayed 1 night, food was amazing albeit quite expensive for 2 people, would I stay again probably yes, parking can be a nightmare if there’s a wedding or event on at the venue rooms
3.4
On arrival we struggled to find parking. Staff was friendly and helpful. We were welcomed and was directed to our room. We had issues with the TV, internet and gaining access to the room. The Door was a hard push to gain entry. The wifi required new passwords etc. The TV remote needed new batteries. The sleep was ok, but the pillows were to high for comfort. Finding the room was stressful. Its a bit of a maze !!!!!. Breakfast was good. However we had to wait for the staff to refill the buffet for pritty much everthing. Other than that no complaints!!!!!
3.4
Needed a hotel to stay a few days for work, the breakfast was included in the price, overall it was a good stay for work related trip.

3.4
Old drab, partially decorated
Holes in the walls bad broken furniture from the 1990s

The hotel has recently been taken over and the restaurant has been renovated into an Indian restaurant which was very nice and the food was good, the photos on the website are all of the restaurant. The hotel is yet to be renovated, the rooms are basic.
I was woken up in the night at 2.30am with either rowdy guests or staff laughing and shouting in the reception area which lasted until 3.30am, this is not the behaviour you expect in a good hotel.
The breakfast buffet was non existent a cooked breakfast was offer with no choice and was very basic. I will not be returning.
3.4
Cleanliness of the room and bathroom
3.4
Overall stay was good but overpriced for condition of rooms budget hotel at best... Rooms itself was big but it was not cleaned enough as we found dead insects around the room even in lamp shade and condition of furniture is very dated but hotel in decent location at least
3.4
Firstly the name international hotel was nowhere to be seen on arrival as it was called continental hotel!!
Was not told that upon signing at the bottom of the check in sheet that any damages would be charged for which is ok if told about and if the room was faultless. On entering the room it was very clear that it was far from this. I took ten pictures of damages to report to reception that I did not want charging for and even after that found that the lights were loose on the wall and the bathroom sink tap was spinning loose. I asked why if they were charging for damage, why aren't they fixing the damage unless it's a money making scheme?? Then we came down to breakfast and was described as a buffet full English but was given a plate of scrambled egg, deep fried mushrooms, deep fried very cheap sausages, deep fried hash browns, and cheap cardboard bacon, I should know because I'm a chef. The rest of the breakfast offer was not great either. I would recommend anyone to stay here and have now decided to stick to well know chain hotels no matter how much more money I need to spend as saving money gives zero satisfaction.

The staff were very friendly and helpful.

There was an argument going on in the room above me into the early hours. I got the sense that the people staying above me were residents rather than guests. I got about two hours sleep and then the fire alarm sent off at 3.30 am for about half an hour. There was no fire and it flavoured to have been set off either deliberately or through carelessness. The fireman was rolling his eyes when I asked him in passing. I decided to pack up and drive home at 4am despite the fact that I had taken night sedation. Drove up the motorway for two hours and was back in my own bed by 6.30am.
3.4
The front desk was very friendly and accommodating and helped me to get a new room immediately as the tv in my first room wasn't working. Rooms are clean, good size and comfortable for a few nights. Unfortunately there's no restaurants in the close surroundings. But overall I would recommend this place.

Stayed here as it was near to a wedding I was attending and thought it was reasonably priced. I wish I’d have paid the extra and stayed elsewhere.
On arrival I noticed letters missing from their sign outside and thought this doesn’t bode well. Reception area was like something out of the shining. I asked was my room ready as I’d arrived an hour before check in and was told it was but to get in I’d need to pay a £10 fee. As the wedding started in an hour I paid the fee as I needed to get ready. I went to the room and noticed it was in poor condition, carpets and lamps were stained, kettle thick with limescale, foot prints on the walls.
I informed the receptionist who offered to change my room, the rooms she showed me were no better. So she said I could speak to the owner later that day. I finished getting ready and on my way out I was introduced to the owner, who informed me that as I’d been in the room and got changed in there it was used and he would not issue a refund so I could stay elsewhere, not even a partial one. This was all still before check in time and the cleaning staff were all on site should the room I’d got changed in need a clean… which it didn’t.
At this point the room had cost me £82, the Jury’s Inn was still bookable at £110.
So to all future travellers avoid unless you have no other option!
