Enjoyable breakfast

On the whole, guests are of the opinion that they have enjoyed good value for money here. The rates are found to be acceptable and reasonable for the standard of the rooms. Dining costs are also considered competitive and free perks such as parking and Wi-Fi offer further savings.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Guest lounge/bar may be closed
A number of guests mention that they arrived at the hotel lounge/bar to enjoy a drink only to find that it had closed early. Quite rightly, guests question why normal licensing hours are not adhered to. Not doing so makes the hotel seem more like a guest house.
negative:
Welcome packs sound negative
A couple of reviews of this hotel reference the tone of the language used in the welcome park. Whoever wrote it felt it more pertinent to open with information about the cost of breakages and the possibility of being asked to leave the property (if noisy) as opposed to useful info about breakfast. This gave guests a negative first impression.
negative:
Occasional issues
There doesn't appear to be any areas of significant concern here. Guests occasionally find the Wi-Fi a little slow although since others specifically say it is good, it seems that this is an infrequent issue. Another guest commented that no children's menu was available in the restaurant.
