Janet

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Terrible service in restaurant. Never actually ate there as in quiet place with less than 5 tables in use felt invisible. Other patrons who arrived after us were served first. Also immediately canceled 2nd night we had just booked. In Room 102 could hear Terrible noises like a door moving on squeaky rollers all night. Fan didn't work in bathroom. Generally very tired decor in hotel. Only one spoon on amenity tray, very few tea bags and one pack of biscuits. On the plus side it was a nice king size bed. Certainly didn't merit star racing. I have never given such a negative review on a property. So disappointed as it has the potential to be really nice.

Very very dirty. very noisy the banging of the corridor door which was opposite my room for 301 every time some one came in or out. Requested a fan in the room as no aircon in the room which I did not realise but reception said there was one in the room which there was not had to phone to ask for one to be brought to the room the room I felt had not been cleaned for my stay with you as photos will show as I am asthmatic this dust made me feel poorly and had to use my nebuliser in the night as the fan was filthy and was just spreading the dust. I wished I had taken a photo of the fan.but they will know what this is like as it is still in the room I was told there were twin beds that I could push together so I did not roll out of the bed and fall on the floor this was not doable because of the bedside table. Why would they ring me bk and tell me this was correct in the accessible room I could push the beds together this was room 301

Lovely staff who are very knowledgeable about the area which helped us out a lot since we came without a car, The hotel room was clean, bed was lovely and soft and there wasn't too much noise (other than a party in a venue below our room), good range of food offered with amenities like the pool and sauna, I definitely will be coming back!

In desperate need of renovation

I have stayed at some great mecures but this is not one of them. Many parts of this hotel are run down , the carpets look to be from the 80s and it really shows with how clean they are. The swimming pool was OK but the ceiling had holes in it and is in dire need of renovation. There is no aircon and the radiators in the hallway were switched on (it’s 20 degrees late May) the bathroom was OK but the shower curtain was too short and water just drips onto the floor. Curtains were half falling off the rail. The bedding was clean and service desk lady was nice. Ok for a pit stop but nothing else

Very clean, staff were very polite. Only one thing I think is the shower which was over the bath did not have a handrail or rubber mat! My wife & I are in our late seventies and thought without these items it was quite slippery & dangerous! Other than that very pleased.

Won’t be back

Food was terrible, server ask me if I wanted some or anything else and then returned with my request but still had the cheek to charge me a 10% service charge. My room had stains all over carpet and some moth looking things flying round the bathroom. I won’t be returning!

Horrible

Had booked for several nights. Got there late on Sunday. The room smelt of stale smoke and made me feel sick. The bed i slept in made me itch like crazy. I ended up putting on more clothes so i had less skin in contact with the bed. And then the shower was cold in the morning, and i mean freezing cold. They changed my room for the rest which was marginally better. Will never return.
