8/10 Very good

A good basic hotel
The hotel was generally good, but kept the cost down by cutting corners.
The food was only OK, being the quality to be expected from a large canteen.
Rooms were not serviced during a stay, which is fine for a stay of a couple of nights, but not one (such as mine) for 10 days. Perhaps this saving on housekeeping enabled the hotel to keep prices down, but if so rooms should have had the means of guests doing this themselves (e.g. providing a toilet brush to ensure that everything did in fact get flushed away.
On the other hand, I have stayed in accommodation where the water did not run hot in the basin and only had a shower. I therefore give high marks for the quality of the bathroom.
The advert said there was parking, but not that it was all on-street. The small car park in front of the hotel had been changed into an outdoor seating area, which may have been a good idea.
The room was OK, with an enormous ensuite bathroom: it would have been much better with less space devoted to ablutions and more floorspace in the room, which would have meant that there was space in the room for an easy chair. As it was there was one upright chair in the room, with little space to use it and another (bizarrely) in the bathroom.
The hotel is well-geared up for handling coach parties, often several at a time. I was not part of one.
