Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel to be a peaceful stay between the Rovers stadium and the park. The rooms were spacious and the shower worked well, although there were no bedside lights. The staff was pleasant and the hotel felt quiet, but the location could use some sprucing up.
The hotel definitely needs some updating, with room maintenance issues such as a missing shower curtain, peeling paint, and unpleasant odors. It seemed tired and in need of some tender loving care. Despite not meeting cleanliness expectations and showing signs of wear, the friendly service and convenient location were notable highlights.
The hotel rooms were great and clean, staff are really friendly, but having only one plug socket per room was disappointing. The card locks were extremely frustrating, as I could never get into my room due to them. Rooms had a fusty smell, but they were equipped with tea and coffee, a hairdryer, and a good size TV.
