8/10 Very Good

Would definitely stay there again.
Pleasantly surprised. For the price we paid we were expecting something dismal but were just happy to have a bed for the night. Actually very good value for money. Tired but comfortable. Would definitely stay there again.
One small point. We were absolutely delighted to find the room had a bath. Not so pleased when we went to run it and found no plug. 😥
Breakfast was exceptional value for money

Average
Average for a Best Western ...
A little bit 'tired' around the edges.
Comfy bed
Bathroom basin was cracked & other small details could be addressed

Not Happy
Building very shabby. Shower tray broken and didn't drain. No iron available. Constant smell of weed in the corridor. Breakfast was adequate but cold. On the plus side, the towels were pristine and the bed was comfortable.

Not the Best Western
Ample parking greeted me and did not fill up too much as the afternoon progressed and I soon found out why. I had booked an apparent "Superior" room which leaves me to wonder what the standard is like. The bed was comfortable and provided a decent night's rest and the shower worked well. The bathroom's finish was very sub-standard though with a nasty plug hole that was caked in hair and grime which I ended up cleaning out myself to ensure the water went down. The flooring seemed hastily laid with parts left unfinished and a very disconcerting dip in the middle of the floor which was not their by design. I decided not to dine their on the evening and my breakfast confirmed what an astute decision that was. I am used to good Best Western buffets and can safely say this was not one of them. A very limited supply of cooked food with anemic sausages, eggs left out far too long and apple juice which was very diluted. The bacon was the only redeeming factor as it was cooked nice and crispy. Overall I maybe expected too much from a hotel in this franchise but think that Best Western need to do more quality inspection work going forward.

Nice enough
Stayed for 2 nights with my boyfriend as we were visiting the area. Booked the hotel last minute but thought being a best western it would be ok. Staff were friendly and helpful which was lovely. But hotel very shabby, bed was comfy but pillows and duvet were awful. Room was comfortable and clean otherwise but the bathroom left a lot to be desired, not sure if it wasn’t clean enough or just needs updating. But gave me the ick a bit. But overall was a nice stay but didn’t feel it was value for money considering the things above.
