The location is fantastic for the town center. I found the swimming pool facilities much BETTER than I expected. Good changing facilities and showers were available.
The corridors looked tired and are in need of decorating and new carpets. I found the bed to be a VERY old wooden bed and it had the most horrendous squeak. The spa was a joke and it was filthy.

the refurbished downstairs areas looked really lovely, i thought. the staircase looked nice too. the breakfast was really good with a huge variety. we felt this stay offered the best value..
the steam room and sauna are both tiny. they also look very dilapidated with stained tiles and chipped steps. the pool facilities desperately need updating, i think.

Good Stay at a Classic Hotel
comfortable seating areaposh toiletriescoffee machineextra charge
It had a comfortable seating area offering a good view. The room included unexpected extras like soft bathrobes and posh toiletries. I found a coffee machine with coffee pods, which I liked.
The extra charge to use the spa facilities felt quite high. It cost £6 despite being a guest at the hotel. It would be better if this was included in the room rate. I think many guests would appreciate not having to pay extra.
