The staff were really polite and helpful but sadly the room and facilities are very tired and in need of a refurb. It’s clearly an old premier inn and still has the old purple carpets, signage, furniture and even pictures on the wall. The side of the bath was scratched and the skirting had split in several places, several signs of marks and scratches all round the room, signs of mold above the sink that had been washed off, the extractor fan broke. In the room the tv remote had the batteries taped in, there are sockets marked for the kettle and hairdryer left over from the PI days that the current items weren’t wired into, cheap plastic chair, no sockets next to the bed to charge your phone etc, no option to split rubbish into recycling and waste. Parking isn’t free even though it’s only for the hotel. Overall it needs a good refurbishment throughout and not worth the price.

The hotel is not in a great area (on the edge of a retail park/industrial area) which is pretty run down and dirty. The hotel does not look much from the outside, and the lobby feels like it should be a backpacker hostel. HOWEVER, the rooms were nice. Not modern, but they were not small, and were largely well-kept. I slept well and found the hotel quiet despite being totally full. The room was clean and smelled good. Breakfast was not a winner for me - but it was OK. I have had worse, particularly in budget-end US hotels. Initially the food options near-by seemed to be takeaways (MacDonalds, KFC, pizza), but we walked for ~15min and found an _excellent_ sit-down Begali restaurant. The staff were very helpful and kind. My checkin was not great as the battery in the card reader for my door had failed, and it took quite a while before I get in to my room - especially as the receptionist needed to find the right sort of screw-driver (he couldn't, but he managed a work-around). He apologised multiple times though, and ... getting into the room was a nice surprise!
