Matthew

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room was warm and a good size, although I cant understand why the shower area would be so disproportionately small. It was fairly clean. Breakfast was fine, although to call it a 'buffet' is a bit of a stretch. Filter coffee, half a dozen stale croissants and a couple of yogurts. The cooked breakfast element was however much better and I would recommend it. As a dog owner I had to sit downstairs rather than with the other guests upstairs, 'buffet' and staff - I had to order from the bar. I must admit I felt a bit of an inconvenience to the staff doing so. I felt the overall tone of the establishment is that the customer is an inconvenience, not just in the downbeat demeanour of the staff (check in, bar and serving, but in the corporate culture of the place. Ordering dinner and drinks via QR code feels a bit Wetherspoons when youre charging upwards of £20 for a meal and £7 a pint and I cant see any clear justification for it.

Spacious rooms with a comfortable bed. Good choice of coffee and teas in the room. Roberts DAB radio provided but reception hit and miss. Large wall mounted TV. Very clean. Powerful shower with a choice of normal or "rain". Good choice at the breakfast buffet with freshly cooked options from the kitchen. Very friendly staff throughout the hotel. A special mention to Marina for being extra attentive and caring.

Pleasant overall.

Overall a pleasant stay. The beds were very comfy. Breakfast was a pleasant experience, very relaxed. Room cleanliness was good but some minor defects found with lighting and the shower. The communal areas should be cleaned more regularly or carefully. Some stickiness to door handles and surfaces.
