Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The hotel has clean areas. There was no direct phone in the room to talk to the staff. There is no 24 hour staff either. The rooms have no sound barriers whatsoever. We could easily hear the next room talking past midnight. The windows to the street do not block the street noise. We easily heard the cars driving in the street in the middle of night. .

Clean room with spare blankets for colder night but room was warm. Bed was an actual double/queen not two singles pushed together. Shower had good pressure with extraction fan. Pub close had good deals with friendly helpful staff (shout out to wendy for helping with postage and other local questions) Breakfast had a good selection, was quick for service and tasted good.
