Room for 3 - 2 Doubles and a Sofa Bed

Check-in was efficient and friendly. Reception area and corridors not particularly clean. Tired and dated but spacious and clean rooms/bathrooms. Little touches like robes, slippers and complimentary bottles of water and snacks are a nice touch. Expensive stay for the quality of the hotel and condition of the rooms and frustrating to have to pay extra for parking. Breakfast well priced.

Avoid if you are elderly or think you have a deal!

If Hotels.com advertise a rate that the Hotel don't agree with then their argument should be between the two of them not the customer (me) who bought it in good faith. Plus this Hotel has no lift to the upper floor and no suggestion of any assistance with luggage. Bed was good as was breakfast - parking is £8 with the threat of a £100 fine if you overstay

Has potential but some issues

Check in took a bit longer than expected as I paid on Hotels.com using clubcard vouchers as part of the payment. The receptionist didn't know how to action this and asked me to pay the full fee which I almost did, but then realised I'd paid using the clubcard points. A more senior member of staff heard our conversation and came over to assist, showing her what to do. Unfortunately when we checked out the next day we had the same original member of staff whom again asked us to pay the full amount. We then had to wait whilst the senior member of staff came to help and the same conversation as check in ensued. As well as this, the air conditioning in the room was broken and we believe they knew this as there was two fans in the room. These helped but unfortunately the room was still hot. The member of staff working in the bar area was not happy, we ordered a starbucks and he was pretty rude, didn't smile or make eye contact. Coffee was okay though.
