On arriving at the hotel I was given the key for my room went upstairs stripped the bed back to find yellow all over the mattress cover P stain not just a little the whole bed went downstairs to reception. I was given another room when I done the same to that bed. It hadnât got a mattress cover on But the bed was very uncomfortable. Not happy at all. Iâve put a complaint in to Hotels.com watch this space?
I stayed 4 nights in a double room. Very neat and tidy. Excellent pub (separate from my room đ). Got a bit hot at night (record temperatures), aircon may be a good idea these days. I had a pleasant time. The pub and the staff are wonderful btw.
The reason for my visit was to attend a professional conference being held at a venue nearby. As such things routinely do, the conference was scheduled to begin at 0900. Unfortunately, as I discovered when I checked in, The Crown does not offer breakfast until 10.0am, so I had to leave with no more in the way of breakfast than the complementary sachet of nescafe. Additionally, the standard of maintenance was poor - an electric socket was broken leading to concern of possible accidental electrocution and the shower head holder was broken, making it difficult to have a satisfactory shower, especially when you are as tall as me - 6ft 4in
