Upon arrival very long wait at reception I had booked a family room but second bed not made so I had to queue again. I was not informed about parking charges over £7 per night but blue badge your ok. All disabled spaces were full. The room was nice and clean and so was the hotel. It was quiet too and we slept well. I put the towels in the bath at night to stop the drip from the broken valve in shower. Cookies were nice upon arrival and hotel was situated close to motorway so easy for us to be on route in the morning.

Clean and tidy but terrible nights sleep

There was a corporate event the night of our stay. There was singing and lots of shouting outside the main entrance. This continued untill 2.00am. Our room overlooked this area. One of the worst hotel stays of my life.

The hotel is a conference venue and is therefore not luxurious or cosy and has the feel of an airport lounge. Breakfast was pretty mediocre with no veggie/vegan sausage (not available until Saturday) the food ran out (cold and hot) and everyone was waiting for it to be replenished, with no urgency or sense of customer satisfaction. Pancake machine not working, no plates by the bread and toast. Milk ran out by cereals and not replenished until asked. Also I saw a member of the breakfast staff question a blind guest about bringing their guide dog into the restaurant and then seated them on the table closest to the entrance making the guests and dog feel most unwelcome (when it was pointed out it’s the law to allow guide dogs in restaurants and the guest stated they were made to feel welcome at dinner the night before) EDI training is needed alongside customer service. Evening meal was ok but my husband’s desert order was wrong and not apparent until we got the bill (wrong chocolate mouse served - he had a tofu mouse and not the chocolate whisky mouse ordered - no wonder it tasted ‘odd’) The room was a good size but we had to ask for enough towels for 2 of us these weren’t in the room on arrival. Only enough tea bags and milk for 1 cup each, and the hairdryer didn’t work well and was 15 months past the expiry date of the PAT test. All in all could be much better with some stronger hotel management and better oversight of the staff. Pretty disappointing experience.

A great example in poor customer service

Not a good experience. The 1st room had a heating problem so we were moved to a second room. The second room also had a heating problem but we did not have time to change a 3rd time as we were due out. As expected it was a cold night but this was compounded in the morning with no hot water. On check-out the front desk staff were great and promised to send a voucher by way of apology. After 2 months no voucher had been received so I contacted the Hotel. The reply I got back from the Hotel Operations Manager said “Unfortunately we suffered some issues due to an malfunction in one of our external units that affected several rooms . However as you were moved for the majority of the remained of your stay I do not believe your experience warrants a refund . I am unsure of who you spoke to regarding a voucher or a refund as I have no communication regarding this & the staff on shift would not have been authorised to of done this” Two follow up e-mails remained unanswered. So beware if front desk staff promise you things they are no authorised to do.
