Pleasant
Liked: The room was clean and tidy, the bed was comfortable, the water was hot and the beer was cold. What more do you really need?
Disliked: The hotel was a little tired, but I was just staying for 1 night and it was all I needed, Not the best hotel, but perfectly OK.

Liked: friendly staff. good shower, comfy bed, cool room in hot weather
Disliked: it looked a little tired and although I am sure it was perfectly clean throughout it would not encourage me to return. Freshen it up would be my suggestion; corridors and stairs and the bedrooms and ensuites. Doesn't require any structural changes just a freshen up of paint and decor

Functional but pricey
Liked: Checking in was quick and efficient. The key pass worked every time. The waitress at breakfast was very helpful and clear about what was on offer. She readily and quickly brought me extra toast.
Disliked: The facilities in the room could have been better. Lighting was poor and when one bulb blew I had to ask two members of staff before it was fixed. Also, there was no phone connecting to reception in the room. What was also quite annoying was a fire exit light stayed on in the room throughout the night. I also had quite a lot of difficulty working the shower - which I eventually got to work, but it was not straightforward. What was also most surprising was the lack of choice at breakfast. Only a cooked breakfast was on offer, with tea/coffee and fruit juices. There were no cereals, yoghurts or fruit. This I found very disappointing, considering I was paying £10 a head for breakfast.
