Needs a refurb.
Firstly i have to say the staff were all very helpful and fiendly. We stayed there due to it being close to an event we were attending. Good points are it was easy to find and good free parking. The hotel itself however is sorely in need of a refurb of the rooms and the public areas. Everything is clearly old, tatty and well past its best. Our bathroom had a drainy smell but this smell was present in many parts of the hotel including the bar area and the corridors. Cooked breakfast was ok but the continental choice was a bit lacking. My wifes big bug bear is rooms that dont have mirrors on dressing tables so she can do her hair and makeup so dragging a chair over to the wardrobe to use the only mirror which was actually inside the wardrobe whilst trying to make the hairdryer reach certainly didnt get her vote. My summary, ok for a night but dont set your expectations high. It is what it is, an oldish, unloved, unmodernised, outdated, in places grubby and in need of a oaint job, but if all you want is a bed for the night then thix will do. By the way, bed was comfy.

Not cleaned/updated after housing asylum seekers
Having arrived and being given a non smoking room that smelt of smoke and damp I asked for another room to find it was just as bad. The hotel had been used to house asylum seekers and not refurbished before opening again. It is not fit for humans ! I checked out and found another hotel (they refused a refund)

2/10 Poor
All I needed was a cheap but acceptable room. The room was tired, poorly maintained. Plumbing sqeeked & oscillated, sink blocked, everything in the room worn out. View was of a room with cables everywhere. The hotel was characterised for me in the not providing any shower gel or soaps etc. Amusingly, they had left the metal holders for the bottles screwed to the wall. Presumably from the more generous previous owners. FELT WELL BELOW BEST WESTERN standard.

2/10 Poor
The hotel is full of immigrants on the upper floor which was closed off and kept me up all night, they had the TV up loud, kids screaming into the early hours and walls so thin could here them going to the toilet and talking. Never stay here again and the hotel didn't do anything for me, I cannot believe that Hotels.com have this hotel on the books, absolute disgrace

The bathroom left a lot to be desired. Soap dispensers didn't work/empty. Informed staff did nothing. Shower was leaking. Toilet was disgusting. Windows were filthy. Blinds were faulty. Overall very disappointing.

Mixed bag
There was a rowdy wedding going on and staff were overstretched. Shouting and banging of doors all night. Comfortable bed, but hair in the shower. Behaviour of other guests is of course out of the staff’s control, but more staff should have been on duty in anticipation.

Honest review
The hotel is a little old and could do with a refurb BUT the staff were friendly, the room
was clean, the bed was comfortable and it was very quiet which for me are the four most important things in a hotel stay!

Booked as it was the nearest hotel to Engelfield House where we were attending a concert. Just needed a bed for the night and it did the job.
