Negative Reviews
negative:
Rooms are found to be small
A frequent complaint made by guests at this hotel relates to the size of the rooms. Although not all rooms are equally sized, some definitely appear to be bordering on pokey and claustrophobic.
negative:
Service can be hit and miss
Although some guests have been pleased by the standard of service here, others have found the staff a little sullen and unapproachable, also noting that it can be difficult to find a member of staff to order a drink. All in all, reviews suggest that the service levels here vary.

Questionable value for money
Previous guests have occasionally questioned the value for money at this hotel. The property is in a good area but the rates do seem high, especially for the smaller rooms and considering that parking and breakfast attract additional fees.
