“OK room, dismal breakfast”

My room was certainly a lot smaller than the one pictured - It was a squeeze around the bed - especially once the case was in the room. Walls of room and hotel generally an uninspiring brown colour which gave it a depressing atmosphere. Room scrupulously clean though. Bed very comfortable but creaked. Reception staff (Melissa) and cleaners were friendly and polite. Basic internet exceptionally slow but used my phone as a hotspot rather than pay the £5 a day for "premium" internet. Breakfast at neighbouring Beefeater was pretty dire. Poor selection of food for the "Continental" breakfast (deemed continental by the presence of a couple of pains au chocolat). The bread was of the "plastic" variety and my piece was stale. Only jam was blackcurrant in single portions which seemed an odd choice. They did have honey, Marmite and marmalade as well though... Worse was the coffee machine bearing an out of order sign and the alternative was hot water and the same tubes of Nescafe Instant as in the rooms. Surely a restaurant should have alternatives?!

“Thin walls!”

The hotel is easy to find on a fairly main road. It has a free on site car park with plenty of spaces. The check in was easy and the desk is manned 24 hours. The room was small and compact but clean and tidy. The walls here are paper thin though and everything your neighbour is saying can be hear… more

The hotel is easy to find on a fairly main road. It has a free on site car park with plenty of spaces. The check in was easy and the desk is manned 24 hours. The room was small and compact but clean and tidy. The walls here are paper thin though and everything your neighbour is saying can be heard, as can using the bathroom facilities. My room had a connecting door so not sure if that made a difference but I don’t think it was just that. Also when they turn their tv on at 5:45am expect to be woken up unless you are a very deep sleeper!! The only bonus to this was I made an early start to miss the traffic on the way home! The toilet roll holder had been taken off of the wall and not replaced so the toilet paper was just on the back of the cistern in a pile and there was no hot water coming through. This was reported the next morning. Based on this stay I wouldn’t stay here again but it was conveniently placed for this trip.
