Anyone giving this hotel a review which defines it as very good is misleading future guests. It barely qualifies to be described as good; no more, no less. It’s very good value (free car park and breakfast included) but on the whole this is a tired place. My room looked like it had last been decorated or refurbished 20 years ago, at best. It was advertised as superior but I’m not sure what it was superior to. It was bog standard. The carpets in the common areas looked like they were laid last century, and most recently hoovered a couple of years ago. Worn, filthy and dilapidated. Yes, the staff were friendly and efficient, but I feel like that should be the minimum standard in hospitality, rather than something that merits significant praise. There were cleaning materials left in the breakfast area, in the same place as food and crockery. And finally, if f-bomb-peppered racist banter is not your thing, then neither is the hotel bar. Even at 6pm.
