Disappointed.
For a MacDonalds hotel I was quite disappointed. The room was small, required a freshen up of the decor. Breakfast was fine and staff were friendly. But I would not stay again. Didn’t use the pool facilities so can’t comment.

Disappointed
Old hotel, room very dark, lack of power socked next to bed very disappointing. Some customers require this. Breakfast low quality, little slice of butter for family of four. We had to ask for more. Baked beans terrible, the same with becon and sausages. Mushrooms ok and fried eggs. Overall acceptable but not encouraging to come back.

Low expectations but still disappointed
Dissinterested reception staff who struggle to use the reservation system. Bed wasn't fully made on arrival, and there was no mention of the jacuzzi being out of order even when directions were requested. Pool area dirty. Only some tv channels have sound, bizarrely. Poor quality breakfast. Restaurant serving staff were good however and the bed was comfortable.

On arrival room was not available. Whilst waiting saw many other guests checking in. When able to check in my details on the book in sheet were totally wrong. The person dealing with me was still in training so this didn't help. Room is well equipped and toilet was in good repair. Sadly don't believe the room price was good value. Sadly since Covid many hotels are trying to recoup losses so prices go up and down depending on demand
