Not as advertised
After working all day, and a 3 hour drive to the hotel, we were looking forward to a meal and few drinks in the restaurant downstairs. I had to ask while checking in where to go for food and was pointed in the direction of local take aways. The bar & restaurant on site were closed! This also meant no cooked breakfast the next morning - although it was paid for and mentioned on the confirmation.
They had kindly left plates and cutlery in the room but it was obviously too small for a table or any other place to sit so one of us was on the bed & the other on a stool at the vanity desk. Drinks were fizzy juice from a can!
The room we got was certainly not one used on the website! Clean enough but very small and one of the lights at the bedside had been pulled out the wall. The floor was uneven & not level.
Bathroom was a bit dated but adequate & there were toiletries if needed.

Very comfortable stay. Room was warm and clean with a wonderful view of Alisa Craig from the window. We ate dinner out but the continental breakfast in the room was plentiful (the milk was only just in date but was fine).

Ok for a few nights
The hotel does not look very appealing from the outside (barely recognisable as a hotel) and the lack of reception and breakfast in your room is a bit odd.
That said, my room was as per the photos, airy, clean and comfortable. The manager was helpful and the breakfast in the room was perfectly fine. It was all ok for me for a few nights on a work trip, but not what I would call a leisure hotel.

Terrible
It’s the only hotel I have never stayed at and booked another. Everything about it was awful so I had to leave and book another hotel. I have never had to do that before. I have stayed and thought wouldn’t go again but never gone somewhere and left

Old smelly hotel.
Well the carousel wasn’t large enough for my vehicle so I was forced to park in the street. The room smelled damp and the wallpaper was hanging off the walls. My bathroom was down the hall and also smelled really bad. I was supposed to
Stay for 2 nights but I had to leave after 1 night due to the conditions.
