Our first stay; able to park underground on a Sunday so happy to pay for parking which felt very secure. Staff extremely helpful in ensuring that we took the correct route out of Swindon when leaving. Duty manager on our check in date helped us find a local pub for the Sunday football. He also provided a place to store luggage in the meantime. Good breakfast before we set off

Our stay was one night for an event the hotel was clean and friendly. The lift is under pressure as still after a year or so it does all 5 floors which means a long wait or you get taken on a detour . We had a clean room and breafast was nice but no croissants! Lol

Rooms were clean, spacious and recently updated, as was the rest of the hotel. EV charging parking beneath the hotel was really useful and a nice surprise as it wasn’t listed in the property details. Lifts in the hotel however were very poor with long queues and very slow, seemingly random responses when called. Many guests gave up and hauled luggage up and down multiple flights of stairs. Room key system also had issues on the morning of departure with multiple guests being unable to re-enter their rooms after breakfast (ours was reset 3 times in succession) and this was compounded by guests having to wait an age for the lifts.

Liked: Staff & service
Room was ok, outdated but clean otherwise. The bathroom floor tiles and caulking were stained and felt dirty. Shower pressure was amazing, they had dove shampoo, conditioner and soap which was a nice surprise. Breakfast had warm dishes (eggs, bacon, hash brown, beans), coffee, juices, cereals and muffins, croissants and pancakes. I wouldn't stay here longer since the amenities were quite poor but for one night stay (passing through Swindon) this was totally fine and staff that we encountered were super friendly and helpful.
