Was a lovely place to stop over for the night, was upgraded which was a bonus, would recommend to anyone, the manager is very helpful if you need to check in late
I booked two rooms for the carnival night. I booked the Admiral Blake because they advertised free parking. The week before the stay my wife read some reviews that I had not. They said beware the AB has no parking. I contacted the owner who said the parking was free!! but not at the property it was street parking only in the streets around the property. He told us we should get there early in the morning as the parking would probably be full as it was carnival night. I tried to book a car park online but all were full. I was bringing my daughter and the grandchildren we had two cars. We made the decision not to travel the 320 mile round trip as it was probable we would not find parking. I would not have booked rooms at the AB if the owner and Hotels.com had stated that the AB had no parking only street parking.
I was very disappointed in the room where I found stains on the bedding. I have taken pictures of it. I have told my boss where my boss had booked me into very dissatisfactory.
The room was ok and kept very clean and lovely room to sleep in only downfall was that there was no meals available which meant it was a very expensive weekend having to buy food for evety meal.
Carpet had a wet spot. Room smelled musty. Shower kind of moldy tile. Bed was ok but room was hot. Wife said she thought the linen had not been changed so she slept with her clothes on. I thought it was clean but old. Parking was find your own in nearby street (which we could, but thought there was dedicated parking).
I was given Room 18; avoid this room if you can. Right next to the communal kitchen area. I was woken several times either by late-nighters heating up their take-aways or early-risers. Room was 'bijou. Pity because host David had been kind and efficient on the phone earlier.
