Despite the unfortunate noise from the nearby bar till late at night, the hotel offers comfortable rooms and friendly service at a decent price. The central location is perfect for exploring Cumbria, but lacks the comfort of other budget hotels I have visited. The dining experience exceeds expectations with a great choice and excellent service.

The hotel offers very basic rooms that are clean and comfortable at a reasonable price. The service was mixed, with exceptionally kind staff but some uncooperative encounters. The location is brilliant for a quick weekend away, although it can get noisy due to nearby party venues. The dining experience was satisfying with a great selection but slightly overpriced. Overall, a decent value for a short stay.

The staff was super friendly and helpful throughout my 3-night stay, going above and beyond to ensure my comfort. However, there was a middle-aged woman who was not as welcoming on a particular day. Nevertheless, they were quick to assist when I needed to book a room for an extra night, showing their efficiency and caring attitude.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room itself was spacious with a comfortable double bed and good lighting, but unfortunately, the poor insulation made it too noisy to get any sleep, forcing me to leave in the middle of the night during a long drive. The hotel's service was exceptional, with a very friendly and welcoming staff who went beyond expectations to ensure my comfort. The location was good for shops and restaurants, though it could get noisy due to the nearby nightlife. The dining experience was unsatisfactory, lacking options and not providing value for money. Overall, it was a stay with highs and lows.

The hotel is centrally located in Carlisle, making it easy to explore the town's offerings. The rooms are clean and tidy daily, but unfortunately, they had a noticeable damp smell which was unpleasant. The service was top-notch, very accommodating, and welcoming. The dining options were decent but somewhat limited due to current government guidelines.
