General external appearance - filthy curtains, rubbish under steps. Access to room via restaurant and onto flat roof. Room poorly ventilated, basic furniture and could have been cleaner.
Overall: Having seen the exterior, public areas and room we decided not to stay at this establishment.What we read on the net was not reflected in what we found.

Staff friendly and helpful (if difficult to understand at times)
Plenty of parking available.
Immediate access to main line station.
Bar good
Noisy trains (to be expected given the location)
Very noisy water pressure pump that responded to every tap being turned on and located in cupboard outside room 9 (but just behind bed headboard of room 9 - very disruptive.
Breakfast limited to full English with nothing else on display (although alternatives possibly could have been requested). No side plates for toast for marmalade etc.
Overall: Adequate but would have been near perfect if quieter.

No mention that the hotel is also a curry / tandori restaurant / take away and right ontop of a mainline rail link to London. Trains ran all through the night. NOT a restful stay!

The staff were well turned out and polite. The bedding in the room, along with towels did appear clean. The downstairs did appear to have been recently refurbished, a shame the bedrooms hadn't had the same treatment.
The room was overcrowded with furniture, the bathroom was not clean - the shower door - glass was extremely dirty. It was noisy well into the night with no sound proofing. There was a permeating smell of the tandori resturant downstairs that was in the towels and bedding that wasn't pleasant throughout the night and in the morning. The downstairs resturant and bar area looked to have been recently refurbished, upstairs it was not very clean or well maintained. Not very prompt at fulfilling requests as i had to ask for a hairdryer - as advertised - twice and to obtain it took over an hour, but one was eventually provided, which made it the more frustrating.
Overall: would not visit again.

Noisey. Very near train station and freight trains go all night. 18th Party in marquee ended just after midnight but expected it to go on longer. Only Sugar Puffs for breakfast cereal, no muesli etc
Overall: Other guests said that the room cleaning needed a woman's touch! The Indian owners do seem to be trying to make a go of this business and we expect it to improve. Maybe they just do not know what is expected by guests. Maybe more guests adding comments will help. The prices may be going up but being so near the railway line makes it hard to sleep unless you are drunk or just used to that sort of noise. Maybe there are not normally so many night freight trains. There were certainly less on the Friday night than on the Thursday night.
