little disappointed

Arrived a little late, around 21:00. Waited a good 5 minuted before anyone arrived to check me in. Hotel was a bit dated, i could see that they were understaffed. People in the bar waiting a while to be served, lots of dirty plates and glasses laying around. I spotted a glass on the side with some beer left when i came back from dinner. The same glass was still there in the morning when i checked out. Room was fine, clean and a good size.

Not very pleasant

Staff unhelpful from booking in until we left. Room was dusty and only one plug socket. View of the delivery area wasn't very interesting and the yard is very unkept. We were not told where the breakfast area was or where the food was served from. The bar was left unattended so I went to the pub across the road. All the staff seemed to be interested in was where they were going and what time they got in. We have stayed in many hotels over the years and this is by far the worst. We won't be going back.

Room 407

One of the towels had brown stuff on it. Crack in the ceiling in the left corner where the shower was. "Double bed" was two single beds and room was slightly clean. I'd have gotten stuff changed if we were there more than one night.

Clean and comfortable but disappointing breakfast

This hotel was clean and comfortable enough, but very tired looking. The rooms were spacious. The breakfast was appalling. The crockery was all dirty - with that sheen that comes from a badly cleaned dishwasher filter being actually visible on every plate, bowl and cup. The cooked part of the breakfast was all cold and congealed. And the staff seemed disinterested. A most unpleasant experience.

The hotel was very disappointing, it smelt of cigarettes throughout including the rooms. The reception area was shabby. the bar are look like it hadn’t seen a cloth in forever. The mattress had so little spring it felt like I was going to fall out of the bed. All in all not good.

Basic but tidy

Room was spacious and tidy, there was a visible sign of dust which laid along the carpet next to all the skirting boards and the towels smelt damp. Heating was perfect and he room temperature didn’t keep us awake. Would stay again, but I do personally think it does meet its 3*

On arrival the staff were very helpful . Although there was a wedding the staff were still attentive to other guests . I was a little disappointed that i couldn't be moved to an assessable room but fully understood that they were full and they were unable to move us . There was a piece of carpet that had tape across it ,which didn't look pleasant (this was in the corridor going from reception to lifts ). On a personal levels i did find the wash basin in bathroom a problem ,as you turned the tap on somehow the water would shoot over the top and onto floor making the floor very slippery and a hazard . A comfortable and clean stay with a good breakfast .

The water temperature control for the bath was stiff. Had to get the staff twice to have a look and was even told would have to get maintenance to loo at it. Was not offered a room move or any kind of compensation for the inconvenience. Very stressful when getting ready for my brothers wedding reception
