+ Super friendly and helpful staff who checked me in.
− Parking was very limited and full when I arrived. It didn't matter to me as I was able to use the public car park next door. It's a very old and tired hotel, but that is part of the nature of somewhere of this age. Served a purpose as a functional stay for one night.

+ I’ve stayed here a few times some years ago and it hasn’t changed much apart from the upgrade to the rooms. Breakfast was good. The staff were excellent as I seem to remember from previous stays - despite the fact that they had all changed of course! A pleasant return to a familiar hotel.
− The only problem was the car parking sadly. Despite having followed your protocol re checking my car in and registering my car, I returned home this week and in my mail were two penalty charge notices from the operator Britannia Parking! Disappointing after a trouble free stay. However, I called the hotel yesterday and spoke to Jack who’s asked for details of the two tickets and said he would call back. How many people do that these days I thought? However, a 15 minutes later Collette rang and said it had been sorted. Again great reaction from your staff. I do suspect though that this is not a new issue for you so please look at how this can be avoided. Please send my thanks to them both for reducing the anxiety this caused an 80 year old!
