Return visitor, but even taking into account the history of the hotel, the rooms are becoming increasingly tired. No hot water in the room & reception were completely unhelpful 'oh they should have told you that at check-in'.....seriously! Floyd in the main bar rescued the visit somewhat though, as he is always super helpful & good fun.

Housekeeping staff is not very functional in cleaning rooms. The management and manager is defensive in protecting staff rather than satisfying guest needs. My room was not cleaned after requesting cleaning. Had another guest -f Florence with same issue that day with room not cleaned.
