Great party poor room.
I was there for works party. Had a great night staff and food was spot on. Room was tired, mattress very old and lumpy (107) toilet was dirty and the sink didn’t drain. We only spent a few hours in the room and left at 06.30 no opportunity to let staff know as reception was unattended when we left.

Tired but ok
The hotel should be rebranded to B&B at best. Very dated and in need of lots of TLC. Stayed here when it was quite new and was saddened to see how run down the rooms have been allowed to get wasnt i pressed with cleanliness either. Black mold round the bath. Toilet bowl rim awful and rustying sink. Had to pump toilet for it to flush. Breakfast was not up to much. Had better stays in cheaper hotels. Bed wasnt that comfy either old mattress and flat pillows. Wont be choosing to stay here again. It was adequate for families who needed to be near the zoo but not for a relaxing couples break.😔

Not again
The hotel looks rundown and out dated. the room was very dusty, the shower barely worked, the room was uncomfortably hot despite turning the radiator off, the bed was 2 beds pushed together with the most uncomfortable mattress on it. When it comes to the breakfast that was a buffet style set up but on some old fashioned portable serving dishes being kept warm with camping style gas stoves which made the food rubbery. They were serving coffee in a portable flask.

Such a cute hotel, really friendly and ample free parking. Situated next to the zoo, the area is quiet, relaxed and safe. I will definitely stay here again.

It was second time staying here and I think it is time some money was spent on the place. They seem understaffed as it took an age to get checked in. My room was ok but the mattress was like concrete and the pillows quite the opposite leading to a sore neck in the morning. I took it upon myself to clean the fan they had in the room which was a good thing as it was filthy and I can only imagine was sort of dust would have been thrust my way if I had not cleaned it. Evening dining was ok but the value for money left a lot to be desired with lackluster garlic bread, quite a greasy cheeseburger and a bland tarte only saved by the accompanying sorbet. Breakfast was a better experience to get the day off to a good start. The hotel looks quite tired with freezing corridors between the lobby and rooms.
