An Okay Stay

convenient location friendly staff excellent value small room run down parking cost

The location is very convenient for train travel. The hotel is right next to the railway station. The staff members were friendly and helpful . I found the breakfast, booked the night before, to be of excellent value.

The room was quite small, though it was clean. It also was rather run down (it definitely could use some spiffing up). The parking cost £12, unexpected.

mixed experience at this hotel

adequate room size great bathroom awkward bed placement small space

the room size and bathroom were acceptable (i liked the space).

The double bed was pushed against a wall with a window and corner. getting up at night meant i had to climb over my partner. It was quite frustrating in the small space.

silverfish problem shower curtain

The location was acceptable. It's conveniently next to the train station.

The room was far from excellent. It felt tired and needed updating. there were silverfish present, a disturbing sight in a supposedly clean room. the bathroom was small, poorly ventilated and the shower curtain failed to contain water, resulting in a flooded floor.
