My daughter and I stayed at the hotel for four nights. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was spotless and every day our room was cleaned. Good shower and comfy beds , not luxurious but we were very happy to stay there.

First appearances can be deceptive! As you walk in the hallway and bar area are newly refurbished. It is when you reach your room that you find it to be totally different. There is a look of tiredness all round. Storage is poor with just a poorly constructed built-in wardrobe with very limited shelf space and just three coat hangers. There are no drawers anywhere in which to put personal items.
Although the bed was comfortable enough the light on the bed-
head was so badly positioned that I struck my head on it more than once as I laid down.
There was no remote control for the tv in the room and when I enquired at the desk I was told by the man that guests stole them. I asked for a replacement and was told there were none. I commented that it was a nuisance to have to get out of bed to change channels or switch off and he pointed to my wife and said: "Let her get out".
The bathroom was a horror story: loose floor tiles that moved as you turned round, a loose toilet seat that meant careful movement was necessary, traces of mildew in corners and a temperamental shower.
There is no lounge as such. There are just a few settees in the corridor and at one end of the hall.
The saving grace for the holiday was that the food was excellent: well cooked, tasty and well presented. The staff, other than the person already mentioned, were very helpful and attentive.
