My stay at the hotel was overall enjoyable. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although they seemed a bit tired and musty. The staff was lovely and welcoming. The location was convenient with easy access to nearby eateries and establishments. The dining options were limited but satisfactory. The facilities were well-kept and functional.
Upon arrival, the hotel was a bit cold, but the staff provided an electric fan heater. The room, although old, was clean and tidy, lacking some modern facilities. The service was very accommodating, especially given the short notice, though there was a discrepancy in the room rate. The location, although tiny and not well-equipped, was convenient to many eateries and the town. The highlight was the dining experience, with wonderful options available.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were a good size and had everything we needed for a night's stay, but they had some cleanliness issues with mold and hair from previous guests. The location was convenient for the town center and parking was good, but there were some noise disturbances. The service was friendly and welcoming, although the dining options were limited to continental breakfast only.
The hotel provided a clean room with some issues like mold and hair, lacking some essentials like dishwashing liquid. The service was excellent, despite a discrepancy in room rate. The location was central and peaceful, with a welcoming garden area. The dining experience was satisfactory. Overall, a good value for money stay.
When we arrived, the room was very cold, and only an electric fan heater was provided, which was a bit of a letdown. The room opened onto a grassed courtyard with outdoor seating, great for playing board games with children. However, the room could accommodate 3 people, yet there was only one of every plate available, no tea towel, dishwashing liquid, or table and chairs provided.
The hotel room was small but value for money. It was cold even with the heater on, and needed a good clean, with black mould in the shower and on the roof of the room. The paint was peeling off the walls, and there was a cracked hand basin. The view faced the street and looked out onto the car park, which faced the main road.
