1 night stay
We recently stayed 1 night 2 adults & 1 5yo. On site parking, the hotel is full of character but the decor does look tired. The room we stayed in was a double and a sofabed, ensuite bathroom, lots of storage, again tired looking but was clean throughout. Breakfast was a buffet affair consisting of hot foods and a selection of cereals, fruits, yoghurt, pastries and breads which my 5yo loved. We chose this hotel mainly for its on site parking as well as a base for legoland and the sealife centre, yes it was a walk but thats our thing. Would we stay here again? yes 😊

It was a good stay. Reception staff helpful and room good. No bottled water in the room was a surprise. The restaurant was for breakfast only and the expectation was that you would order food in. The location was convenient for me and I’d stay there again.

Good traditional hotel
Good hotel at reasonable price just outside city centre. Large comfortable and clean bedroom with good facilities. Very good cooked and continental breakfast. Only downside was the hotel has no lift and quite a long walk from reception to bedroom up stairs and winding corridors. We did get lost on one occasion

The staff were fantastic, their service was great, there is no lift to upstairs rooms and we were on the 2nd floor, staff did carry my bag up and down but there should be a lift in the new part of the building. It is a lovely old building with charm and close to the city. Filter in bathroom (on wall) needs cleaning it was clogged with fluff and creating the start of mold in the bathroom.
