“Nice place to stay but restaurant not great”

Pleasant hotel which projects an air of quality but doesn’t quite live up to that image.

Pleasant hotel which projects an air of quality but doesn’t quite live up to that image. To begin with, none of our UK credit cards worked at reception because they had one of the old card readers that won’t read the chip and pin. The card readers in the restaurant worked fine so time to upgrade the ones at reception! Room well kitted out, nice beds, toiletries (not ones you can’t steal though) and staff generally helpful and pleasant. There is no lounge bar, just a restaurant with tables and chairs, so not a place to relax. We ate in the restaurant the first night but the food wasn’t great and the staff rather clueless. There were 8 of them setting for a large party, scraping the chair across the floor, tipping a table over with a loud crash, and generally making a lot of noise for what was a simple task that could have been carried out more discretely and professionally. My tuna and fries was just that - overcooked tuna, nice hand-cut fries - but for a hotel that appears to offer fine dining (look at the website photos), those little, unopenable sachets of ketchup seemed rather out of place. My lemon dessert was sickly sweet and not very lemony. Stay here if you like but eat elsewhere.

“Comfortable and very affordable”

A bit out of town but still easily accessible. The hotel is not new but well maintained and very quiet and comfortable. Excellent helpful staff. Good WiFi, free parking (although hyper controlled for some reason!). Simple average breakfast. A bar but not much space to enjoy a drink altogether a very good choice given the extremely attractive rates they offer.

We arrived late in the evening. Missed dinner. Our luggage lost. Our mood improved when we were greeted by helpful staff. The kitchen stayed open to cook a hot meal for us. In the morning the front desk had our luggage, which had been delivered during the night, and we enjoyed the complimentary breakfast with a good selection of food and beverages. Our room was clean, comfortable and quiet. Also, this hotel is a short drive from a large supermarket where were purchased water, food, and a swimsuit for the next stop in our travels. Overall we had a pleasant stay.
