You get what you pay for at the end of the day and i used it as a base as we was out for a few drinks and to see romesh so only used it to sleep. The staff were brilliant and rooms were clean

Sallie 8.0

Even though this hotel needs a lot of money throwing at it, I have to say that we have stayed there 3 times in the past year and found our rooms clean and comfortable. I usually bring my own pillow when staying away because I hate the smell of other people in my bed but this hotel has very clean and pleasant smelling beds. Staff are very friendly and helpful and we will definitely return again.
