The hotel had clean and tidy rooms in a separate annex, plenty of food at breakfast, and good management. The service was friendly and attentive, especially the manager. The dining experience had a variety of tasty options but lacked quality in some areas.
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were quiet and well-furnished, with great soundproofing, and the service was exceptional with friendly and attentive staff. The location was convenient for exploring Ashington, and the dining experience was satisfying with a variety of choices. The facilities were well-maintained, offering a comfortable stay overall.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with friendly staff, but the dining experience could be improved. Situated in a convenient location, though some aspects might not suit everyone.
