So bad I got the train home and didnt stay. The room itself was very nice. The bathroom was excellent. All clean. Staff on reception lovely. The problem started at about 7 pm when the room next to mine filled up with at least 4 people who were partying. The walls are paper thin, it was as if they were in my room. At 9pm I asked to be moved to another room. All that was available was one at the front, which meant even more noise when the club opposite closed at 3am. I went back up to the room and the party in the room next door to mine (i was in number 35) was just the same. The anxiety of staying and not knowing when it was going to stop meant i had to hand my keycard back at 10pm and leave without staying the night. I hot the train home. This is a party hotel for noisy people. Dont stay there if you want to sleep. You can hear a fart through the walls. I emailed to ask for some kind of refund and heard nothing back. This noise was in no way connected to the wedding disco on the ground floor. That couldnt be heard in my room. The noise was from the room next door.

There was a noise coming from the pipes next door all night as well as the fact that the walls are incredibly thin so was kept awake most of tie night. Wouldn’t recommend if you want a good nights sleep

Disappointing
This 'hotel' is tired and in need of some renovation or at least a little TLC. The room wasn't dirty but felt dusty and there was a build up of dust behind furniture. The carpet looked like it was rescued from a Wetherspoons and I was reluctant to remove any footwear. Light bulbs in lamps were broken or missing. The room was on the cool side and on inspection the original sash window was open by a few centimetres and was covered with some secondary glazing. On attempting to close the window it seemed that it was stuck open and I was worried that using too much force would rip it from the frame. Hence the secondary glazing I suppose. It wasn't too bad for my stay but I would imagine it would be drafty and cold later in the year. The bathroom was OK but again the shower over the bath was quite old and not the best and there were some signs of discoloured grout and tiles. There were signs of peeling paint and dark, grubby marks on the walls and this along with the poor state of carpet and repair was also visible throughout the corridors. The staff that I met were great. Very friendly and helpful. I didn't make use of the restaurant and bar but from a quick glance they seemed reasonable. I would very much question how this establishment has achieved an 8.2/10 rating as for me, even without the issues I found in my room, I couldn't say it was more than 5/10. All in all a rather disappointing experience.

I stay here regularly and have never had a problem. The location is great, within walking distance of the town and shopping centre. The price is always reasonable. The staff are friendly. The breakfast is good. I can't comment on evening meals as I have never had one there due to the proximity of local restaurants and takeaways.
