Premises was ok. I have stayed at the hotel before but i do believe that it needs an upgrade as it seem to be stuck in 1970's. Staff were polite and helpful

Great stay for families

Customer service was friendly & helpful. Breakfast was good & offered sandwiches for the morning we left too early for breakfast. The hotel was clean but dated. The bathrooms could do with stripping back & updating.
