Overall wonderful experience, all staff I encountered were courteous and helpful. Room was clean and fresh, bed comfortable and all linens smelled delightful! Located on a bus route, easy walk into town Centre, various shops/eateries a few minutes walk away from hotel. I will definitely stay there again.

Martin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Only stayed for one night , comfortable bed clean room and bathroom but smelt as if someone had been smoking in the room and they had tried to cover it up. Only a problem if I opened the doors to the sink/microwave etc. Breakfast ok but coffee cold and I was told to heat it up in the microwave, that's what it was there for!

stephen b, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Absolutely shocking, massively overcharged!

Charged £243 so assumed it would be high end accommodation but was more like student digs/a hostel and would have found £100 too expensive. The hotel and room was very tired, grubby and felt dirty. The windows were very difficult to open and the bathroom was so old, having a shower the nob came off so couldn’t switch it off. The walls were filthy and the whole suite needs completely ripping out and replacing. I feel like I’ve been charged the rate of a high end London hotel for an awful experience … so disappointed and feeling robbed
Toilet handle hanging off
Shower so old the control nob came off!
Stained wall
Dirty carpets throughout

Kathleen, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Horrible !

No AC in the room and no fan during a really hot day! But the biggest problem was the bathroom! A terrible smell, and the toilet was moldy. Terrible experience. I will never come back here!

Not far from several dining options. Nice clean area.
Dawn, 2-night trip

The staff were all fabulous and helpful but the facilities were somewhat "tired" and basic for the price. It served my need of somewhere to sleep.

Hotel was lovely, comfortable and very clean, staff very friendly, courteous and very helpful, stayed at the Sure hotel for my daughter’s graduation, close by and location easy to find
Cheryl, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean and basic hotel

Cleanliness was very good. This hotel is dated and seems to be a base for builders and other tradesmen. The beds were very comfortable and a family room of a double and two proper single beds was welcome rather than converted sofa bed that is usually how family rooms are constructed. There was a wall mounted fan but this was not enough in our current hot spell of weather but we had additional fans in the car so didn't ask for more fans from staff. Continental breakfast is buffet style but cooked breakfast needed to be ordered. However, cooked breakfast was very tasty. Orange juice was awful, tasting like the cheapest watered down variety. One young woman was running breakfast, she was excellent in every way. Dining room was very dated, the chairs were stained and looked very worn out. Rooms have a normal sized fridge (not a hotel sized fridge) and microwave which was very useful. WIFI was free and worked well. Parking was also free. Surprised that when I returned my key cards to reception, they didn't ask how our stay was. Fine accommodation for an overnight stay.
Sharon, 1-night trip

Cool old building. Good breakfast.
Darwin, 1-night trip

This is a value for money spot as you have a microwave and refrigerator so can be quite independent. Parking is great and the accommodation was clean and spacious. Ideal
Lynne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Spacious room. Good kitchen amenities w sink, plates/silverware, fridge & microwave. Comfortable beds.
Cynthia, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good service helped this basic, tired hotel. Looks though it may have been great in the 1990’s. In saying that, it’s fairly priced, cheap even and the customer service is good. It also gets additional praise for the one tap bar ( fosters ). Ok for work digs, don’t take the Mrs.
Brian, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was extremely responsive and gracious. So very sensitive to our 90yr old mother's needs
