This is an okay hotel. A little way out of the city but opposite a nature reserve which is lovely to walk in. We were allowed a late check out at no cost. The staff are very friendly and the food we ate in the bar was very good.

I stayed here with my daughter 21/5/12. I picked it because it had a swimming pool and free parking and was really good value. It was much nicer than I expected for the price and from the minute we arrived we were made welcome, all the staff were pleasant and helpful. We had a snack in the restaurant when we... More

Wow, I was really disappointed with this hotel. Firstly, it was WAAAAAY away from the city center. I knew it wasn't right there, but I was surprised. A solid 30-40min bus ride each way, or a 20min, £15 cab ride. The room was clean and the water was hot, but that's about all I can say. There were no outlets... More

Check in was okay with friendly staff. The insistence on passport details was odd. Booked a twin room but was allocated a double. Cleaning staff at work as we arrived - difficult to navigate narrow corridors. Cleaning still not complete by evening – plateful of food in open view near lift. First member of restaurant staff was excellent - friendly... More

Good revamp of a late 20th Century hotel- the design could still struggle with the northern weather, internal corridors could be early Ibis, but our room was clean and well appointed, bed comfortable, everything worked and they weren't mean with the linen, the TV, or the room kettle. Wonderful views from public rooms: warm fair-sized pool with gym facilities. Staff... More
