The hotel itself is of a very good standard - no frills, but this feels 'environmentally' sensible in this day and age. But good, simple accommodation and friendly, efficient staff at the welcome desk. We've dropped some stars in a couple of areas though. Firstly, the access gate leading to the pedestrianised street was not lit on the Saturday night of our stay - it was totally dark, but you could hear people loitering there. Secondly, the smoking area directly under our window seemed a regular gathering place for 'non-residents', who could be heard asking for alcohol whenever a hotel guest came out from the bar for a smoke. Our window was open, on account of the heat, and this was quite a racket around midnight. We feel that the night porter should have moved these people on - after all, the hotel does advertise as having quite rooms. But we did enjoy our two-night stay, and will certainly use this hotel again, as it is very conveniently situated for the town centre, and well-priced, too.

Nice hotel
We stayed for one night but was out late as visiting friends, our room was very spacious. The hotel is very old so a bit creaky and dated but all in all clean, tidy and comfortable. We were on the high street which can be noisy but by the time we got home and went to sleep most had left. Toiletries in bathroom were nice and staff very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was very nice and constantly replenished. Parking was fine and being central to town was handy. No complaints from me and would stay again.

All as expected. No negative point. Be aware thereis no aircon in rooms so very hot on the rare occasional summer day.
