This was my second stay at the hotel this year and again I found it very good. The staff at the desk are always smiling, helpful and polite! The rooms are warm, spotlessly clean and very functionable. The shower has great pressure and a seat in it (bonus feature I guess)! There are tea and coffee making facilities and a tv with about 11 channels. The bar is the other side of the reception and staff here are efficient and friendly. There is plenty of cosy seating to enjoy your drink. The breakfast is served for 2 hours in the mornings. Features self-service buffet with hot food, porridge on request and a selection of cereals, yoghurts, croissants and muffins! Something for everyone. The only problems we had in our 3 days stay was the service in the restaurant in the evening was very slow. Orders went in fast but we were waiting for up to 45 mins for something simple like a plain ice-cream dessert. But this was incredibly minor and certainly would'nt ever put me off staying there again. We tried the chinese next door also but in comparison with the hotel, it was surprisingly expensive (but very tasty). I'm already making my booking for next year. This hotel has a comfortable, homely feel yet everything is still very new and fresh! And you can't beat having nice staff!
