Positive Reviews
positive:
Not your average neighbourhood pub
This is not the average quiet country pub you're probably used to. This bar and lounge is hopping, especially on the weekends when there is live music, entertainment acts, and well-known DJs. The whole downtown really comes alive and you'll be right in the middle of all the excitement.
positive:
Right in the town centre
If you don't like to party, there will still be plenty to do. The hotel is within walking distance of scores of shops and restaurants and all the historic attractions are a stone's throw away. The hotel is located right in the middle of the city centre.
positive:
Great for a weekend stay
The hotel really caters to weekend guests and will roll out the red carpet with a friendly welcome. The staff, from reception to bar staff, are anxious to see you settled and having a good time. The rooms are clean and modern and will provide a cosy stay.
Negative Reviews
negative:
A tropical feel
While you're actually in England, the summer months will have you wondering if you're in the tropics instead. All the rooms either suffer from a lagging air conditioning unit or completely lack any air conditioning at all. Fans can be provided, but they give no comfort to the summer misery.
negative:
Ask for rooms by name
Be careful with your room choice when booking. If you would like to get to sleep before the early morning hours, be sure to request a room far from the bar noise. The hotel has a stated policy of quiet hours around 2 am during those times, so don't come here expecting to sleep the weekend away.
negative:
It's a pub with some rooms above
The hotel would be better classified as a pub with some rooms above. All the focus is on the pub and the happening lounge. That means not much is provided in the way of carefully prepared gourmet meals or a luxurious night's sleep.
