The Gate Hotel

The location was convenient for road access and car park tidy working fridge in room

The hotel is run down - curtains hanging a a couple of threads , however it was clean Information in reception was dated 2018. Hotels normally have a bar, food - neither here during my stay so a picnic from Tesco a short walk away The reception wasn't staffed and the main door unlocked so for lone travellers felt insecure. My room each morning was left unlocked by the cleaning staff and was shrugged off. lighting on the corridors didn't work and in my room neither side lamps worked - both blown bulbs that were not replaced.

It is very dated.

A can of beer £3.00 no draught beer in the bar. The whole place is very tired.

Nice big and clean room close to train station

The staff member that took care of my check in doesn’t have any people/customer skills. When i first arrived at the reception i had to dial number 200 to call a member of staff. Spoke to a lady who asked for the booking name and after i tell her my name she simply said OK and put the phone down. After waiting for nearly 5m there was a male staff member who was at the bar and saw me arriving, he came to the reception without greeting me or saying any other word ( in my opinion that is extremely rude ), went to the back of the reception counter and sat down. I asked if he would be able to check me in and he simply replied “That’s what I’m doing” and went silent again. The premises were alright, but the management should definitely look better at who they hire!
