Excellent customer service. Friendly, approachable staff who were always on hand to help if needed. Would have preferred a room with a bath as I had 3 children who dont like showers but it was still a great stay.

Could do better
Hotel aspect was fine, but evening restaurant was very low key with little in the way of choice. Service was however prompt. Breakfast was a whole new thing with many tables not cleared, hence nowhere to sit. Also food from the buffet was cold as the heat lamps did not keep the food warm. Also the plates were cold for the "hot" breakfast!

Staff were lovely and helpful and went out of their way to swap our room from the noisy doorway. The extra bed in the room (sofa bed) was utterly diabolical and really should have been thrown onto a skip. Sadly the cooked breakfast (self service) was inedible. The sausages shrivelled, bacon hard with uncooked rind, no mushrooms, tomatoes tasteless and the only egg option (scrambled) tasteless and cold. An embarrassing offering of cold, overcooked and poor quality food. I ended up having thawed out frozen berries with plain yogurt (no honey). I was aware that the hotel is classed as budget (although the price was not since we came for our sons graduation), but you expect, at the very least, an edible breakfast for nearly £300 for a 2 night stay. I will try my best not to return.
