positive:
Decent food
Pub-grub seems to be very much the order of the day here but it tends to go down well with guests, who compliment the standard of both the food and service. The dining area is sometimes described as being in need of a revamp but, other than that, there are very few concerns in this area.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Varying room standards
Guests seem to have very different perspectives when it comes to offering feedback about the rooms. Some simply describe the accommodation as basic but clean and comfortable while others say the rooms are too small and are poorly maintained.
negative:
Wi-Fi can be an issue
A number of reviews indicate that you may encounter some issues with the Wi-Fi. It seems to be okay during the day but in the evening, presumably when more guests are trying to get online, it can be intermittent at best.
negative:
Outside lights are disturbing
Comments about the exterior lights at this hotel crop up fairly frequently. Guests found their night was disturbed due to these bright lights shining into their room. Blackout blinds would seemingly be a welcome addition here.
