This hotel is on a sad downward slope and has been for years. I tried it again a few days ago, after telling myself I'd not stay here again the last time and I think I've probably confirmed that I doubt I'll ever be back. The only redeeming features of the hotel are the pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room. Even they have their issues. We arrived to find that under 12's were not allowed in the steam room or sauna and this isn't advertised anywhere on the hotel website. One very dissapointed 9 year old boy who is allowed to use both of these at our local leisure centre under adult supervision. The showers were also cold at the pool changing rooms. The rooms are also terribly dated and in dire need of a refurb. Scuff marks everywhere, mould in the bathrooms, dated fixtures. The windows did not seal properly so there is a lot of traffic noise and of course in the middle of winter when it's -2c outside you get a freezing cold draft in your room. Also, my absolute pet hate in hotels, no soft close doors. All night and in the morning you hear doors slamming. I just don't understand why some hotels don't install soft close doors. It just screams of cost cutting and laziness. As a comparrison we stayed at a "budget" hotel brand for our second night in Inverness (the one with all the purple branding) and it was superb. The hotel was almost full but it was silent. No slamming doors, no traffic noise. Until this hotel has had a full and extesive refub I'll go purple from now on.

The bathroom is so old and urgently needs replacing,with broken tiles,faulty taps and broken bathroom sealants. The double glazing is at least 25 years old and should be condemned,as the room is so noisy as they do not block out any of the nose,from all the busy traffic. are broken

Lack of info at reception but we got there in the end. My room was quite dated. First night, the room was absolutely roasting but as I was facing Milburn Road, having the window open wasn’t really an option due to traffic noise/boy racers flying past. Room was filthy to be honest. Short curly hair in the sink, dust and hair down the side of the dressing table, sugar and tea stains on the table next to kettle, hair in the bed, mouldy bathroom, walls thick with dust. There was also a questionable stain on the bed however I couldn’t be 100% sure it was there on mine and my young son’s arrival but I’m 99% sure. Breakfast was good. £13 per day as my young son ate free. Cooked option, plenty cereals, yogurts and berries, cooked meats and cheese, bread for toasting and pastries. Good selection of juice as well. Swimming pool was a bit dated too. On our first visit one of the pool lights was floating on the water with electrical wires attached! Two guys popped out of the steam room and eventually fixed it. I didn’t use sauna or steam room but jacuzzi was nice and warm and the pool was okay too. Lockers require your own padlock and the ladies changing rooms are open plan.

I stayed 2 weeks and I was given a room with a fridge that didn’t work. The chair in the room was broken also, which they eventually changed of I was thankful. However, throughout my stay, the room cleaning was focused on changing towels and tidying the bed , the dust was building up in the room. However, I did throughly enjoy the leisure centre, which was lovely and the restaurant staff was lovely too.
