Bad stay

Rob Solo - 5/18/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

No power in the room on arrival. People hanging around the hotel also looks like people are living in there with bags hanging out of the window and microwaves. I’m unsure if the hotel is housing homeless people

Not for a weekend stay

Anonymous Couples - 5/15/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

On arrival the receptionist receptionist was not friendly. Room was clean & tidy but we had window open the whole time as the room smelt. Bathroom smelt of damp. Had planned to eat in hotel but menu was overpriced and we drove elsewhere for food. Hotel was very noisy until 3am & noise started again at 6am. Felt we were staying in students halls of residence than a hotel. Coffee machine was broken at breakfast. The staff at breakfast were friendly & attentive, shame they had not been there when we arrived.

Great budget option with EV charger

Mm Business - 5/11/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

Staff are always friendly and helpful. I asked to move room as I’d been kept awake by other guests and she did this without question and I had a great second nights sleep. It’s cheap and cheerful. Clean and basic. Not a luxury option but good enough for sure. The staff are by far the best attribute of this hotel. Always helpful.

All was very good. The only thing that I didn't like was that the owner of a dog allowed it to sit on the sofa that was in reception. People have to sit there

Not worth the money

Anne Couples - 5/9/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

The positives: staff on reception very helpful and welcoming. Good parking. The negatives: We had booked the SweetRoom as we thought it would be better, so paid more for a room that was not worth it. No hand towels in the room. Very difficult to adjust the heating because of the position of the desk. Bathroom door handle was broken. A number of minor repairs needed to decor and fittings. Food was poor. Cheesy garlic bread was a very greasy cheese on toast. Paid for breakfast as well - it seemed to have been out for a while, so a bit dried up. Baguettes were undercooked so not very edible.

Dear Theresa, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're happy to hear that our team were living up to their reputation and doing their best in looking after you and that you found our parking convenient for your requirements. Our aim is to create a perfect experience for all guests and are sorry that we didn't get everything just right for you this visit. We have noted your comments which will be quite helpful when we are looking into any improvements that need to be made. Next time just let us know immediately of any issues that we can deal with straight away and we will do our best to make sure you have a perfect stay. We hope to see you in the future. Kind regards, Kate Davies, General Manager

Comfortable room and friendly staff

David Couples - 5/8/2022 Confirmed reviews ALL

We stayed for one night and opted for the Sweetroom which was fresh, clean, comfortable and had a great walk-in shower. The staff were polite and situated near the waterfront with ample free parking. The only downside was the pillows which were too hard but would definitely stay again.

Dear David, Thank you for your review. We are thrilled to read that our location was ideal for you. Thank you for your mention of our team who work hard to meet your expectations; it's very rewarding for us all. We regret to hear that you found your room too warm, our team are always on hand to assist with issues such as these. We have noted your comments relating to the pillows.

Room excellent - clean and convenient. Breakfast was excellent, too. Didn't try the evening meal - the menu seemed rather basic vs. cost.

One night stay

neiljenkins54 8/21/2021 TripAdvisor review

We were returning to Wales for our mother’s internment, the family and the dog. We had a great stay and felt very welcome. The staff were lovely and Maria was exceptional. She even mentioned an invent that was happening that would have possibly caused us great delays so we avoided that area so we were very grateful. The only thing I would comment on was at 6.50 am the fire alarm went off for three rings. If this was a test could it not be carried out at some more appropriate time? If it was for real then of course it can’t be helped.
