8/10 Good
"For the price, the hotel is reasonable. Having plug sockets near the bed would have been useful. Breakfast isn't really worth it. You get a small box of juice, a roll or croissant and some jam/butter. There's a Sainsbury's less than 5 minutes away where you can get breakfast. On checking in, we were asked what time we liked to have the breakfast box. On both occasions, we had to go to the main reception as no-one brought the breakfast to us (as was previously advised). I'm not sure what the purpose of requesting a breakfast time if you're not going to bring it then."

"Only stayed one night but everything was spick and span as you’d expect. Staff were more than helpful even allowing me to check in slightly earlier than allowed. If was looking for downside would be the boarded up pub/ restaurant next door detracting from the hotel. Few weeds growing around the building if cleaned up would be more welcoming but still good value. Can’t comment on food as I ate out"
