Just needed a hotel in the area for one night whilst on business, and its a little gem. Polite and…read moreefficient staff, lovely clean modern rooms with freeWireless Internet, and a good sized TV. Dinner is unbelievable, a full three course meal for £10 - I dont know how they do it. Good choice too. Ok not haute cuisine, but very acceptable. Would have been at least £20 anywhere else.
They could possibly go up market a bit with the food, and might get more locals coming out for an evening meal it could be they don't bother because its so cheap ! In otehr words, maybe counter - productive.
But what a let down at breakfast. Not many hotels do a hot buffet successfully and this was one of the worst. Too much bacon in the tray meant all the stuff on top was cold, and its was poorly cooked , anaemic, fat not cooked at all , and also horrid sausages, which seemd to have no meat content, and be primarily filler and monosodium glutamate. Egg was gelatinous scrambled stuff. I realised too late that a fried egg was possible only to special order, but then it would have been a wait , and I already had a plateful of stuff. Why didnt the breakfast receptionist mention fried eggs were available ?
The fried bread was also the worst ever, the crust around it was so solid it couldnt be cut without the table shaking so then your coffee (mediocre) spills over .
What a pity , a good breakfast would have meant a 5 star rating. I can barely bring myself to score it with 3 stars
