Room was basic and a little out dated, but it was clean and comfortable. Breakfast and evening meal were both good and service was with a smile. Check-in was a terrible experience! I presented myself at reception where a guy was standing, he looked at me , ignored me and made out he was looking at a sheet of paper! Another member of staff was aware of the situation and eventually he stepped in and offered some assistance. This approach on arrival is never a good start, so my stay was marred. If I hadn’t of paid I would have walked out! First impressions are important.

One night stay for a flying visit. Rooms are quite tired but perfectly functional. Bar was really nice and they were showing the football. Really nice atmosphere in there, lots of holiday makers and food looked good. Breakfast was awesome. Didn't need to eat the rest of the day! A two minute walk to the station.
