The facilities are so run down, mould in the bathroom, doors that dont fit, general decor is tatty and the rooms are dirty. Staff were friendly and breakfast was ok, although just a little greasy. We wouldnt stay here again but based on cost, you get what you pay for. Poor doos Waterside......

Clean and tidy with lovely staff, the hotel had decent amenities but could use a lot of updating. But for £72 a night thats acceptable. Food was basic with quite a small menu and the buffet breakfast at over £11 was definitely not value for money. Id go back but wouldnt bother with the food.

Disliked: Amenities
The hotel is in desperate need of an upgrade. The rooms are tired and the general Hotel has a 1970s vibe. The leisure facilities for guests are chargeable, you have to pay £5 to use the facilities which are old and outdated. There is also a charge for a towel and a deposit needed for a key for the locker room.. I was rather disappointed to be honest.

Great Reception Staff.

Reception staff couldn't be more helpful, My work is nightshifts and they have accommodated by giving me a ground level room close to entry/exit where my vehicleis located, This is my second booking here and would not stay anywhere else.
