Dreadful
We had to move rooms 4 times due to human hair being inside all 4 beds. At least the ladies service on reception dealt with the issue by upgrading us until we found a clean bed.
That said, this hotel is very tired and in need of refurbishing. The pictures listed are of the spa as all 4 rooms that we moved to from standard to the best have major carpet stains and water marks on the wooden furniture coffee / tea etc.
Pay more and stay somewhere else.

Great central location, friendly atmosphere, nice spacious rooms with good facilities, however we did find the Hotel a little on the chilly side - the rooms gave air con so this was turned up for a nice toasty room. Excellent cooked breakfast
