Definitely not somewhere for families to stay. Its in the centre of the town so lots of restaurants and bars around within walking distance. Very noisy into the early hours of the morning so we struggled to sleep due to the noise from people outside and those staying in the hotel. In hindsight not a location for families to stay with children. Much more for people looking for a good night out like the other patrons of the hotel.

Busy and not the best Holiday Inn Express.
Overall the stay was pleasant. Room was clean but the towels felt like sand paper and one hand towel had a hole in it. Breakfast was chaotic and they couldn’t meet the constant demand for clean plates and cutlery. Lack of choice of breakfast juice as only orange or water available. Also the tv in the bedroom did not function properly which was either a signal issue or the tv on its way out.

Great location.
Great location but lack of air con or a decent fan let the property down. I did use the gym and the pool which were a big bonus. Overall a good stay. Pleased the weather wasn't warmer or the lack of air con could've been a big problem.

Basic hotel at exp above price
The hotel was very basic. Small room size, no Aircon. It’s not value for money at these prices. The staff except for a few seemed like interns who were doing this for first time Breakfast was basic and they wind down by 930 which is very odd in a small town like this - the staff was not pleased to wait even 5 minutes on breakfast despite the request Lots of dogs and one guest took food from the breakfast in the hotel plates to feed his dog no one from the hotel noticed and only took action after we pointed it out

A very short stop on our journey down the country. We had everything we needed and the staff were very accommodating. The room was very warm but that was mentioned on arrival and additional fans were offered. The shower was amazing. Although small we didn’t need anything else

Good location and friendly staff. We visited when it was hot and the aircon doesn't work in any of the rooms. Apparently it is due to be replaced later in the year and in the meantime can only be used as a fan. The owners of this hotel need to maintain it properly and not put their staff in the awkward position of dealing with hot guests!
