Meh

Hotel was spotless, staff were fab, only downsides were the bed was unbelievably hard so we barely slept, water pressure in the shower was so low I could wash my hair, and with the weather as hot as it was and no air con in the room it was unbearably hot in there. Purely down to how uncomfortable bed was we won’t book another hotel from this chain.

Property is in a good area for travel and nearby places of interest. Property was not clean, the carpets in the room were filthy, hallways were not clean at all. Staff was friendly and helpful with the exception of Ellison. He is in dire need of cheering up, showed no motivation for anything or anyone at all. He was on his phone when we were having breakfast and just the general aura of this boy was not good. He should not be at the front of house. Breakfast was OK, bit disappointing with quality of the food. The beds were not great but not bad either. Would I stay again? Not sure but probably not
