United Kingdom
Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Unlimited quantity of food available at breakfast. Heater in the room worked well Check in/out worked well, despite a power cut to the building (which was obviously not their fault - wide area was affected)
Negative: Bed was a little small. We requested a big bed, but were told they are all to a standard size. While food at breakfast was unlimited quantity, quality was not great, and only a small selection available. For example, I didn't see any fish... All the staff I saw appeared to be of Indian / Pakistani origin, No white folks anywhere. That suggests to me that some racism has been applied to the recruitment process. (EG jobs given to family, brother in law, etc, and not advertised on the open market to the best person). That upsets me. (Although I will say that all the staff seemed nice and competent)
Summary: Simple basic hotel which serves the purpose of a room for the night. Great if just passing through.
