6/10 Good

Too expensive, travel lodge spec

Room was too warm even with radiators turn off, no AC, poor ventilation. No smart TV for Netflix etc. Breakfast portions too small
Sean, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very low headroom in room 16

Staff really nice and efficient. Room was nice but bathroom was dated with a very noisy Victorian full toilet, and the room had beams and was small with very little headroom. Couldn’t get head under shower as it had to be positioned lower due to low ceiling.
Rachel, 1-night trip
