Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It took 10 mins before anybody came to reception to give us our key, the first room we were given smelt really bad, and whilst the second room didn’t smell, it wasn’t particularly clean. Overall, the hotel seemed very tired.

Disliked: Amenities
Because I booked through a 3rd party I was charged £5 to get out of the car park. The room was grubby and the shower would only give boiling hot water.
