The barhrooms are scruffy the hotel is full of people waiting for social housing . Our room was next to someone who had the tv on all night on full volume snd the full top floor had no heating which they know about yet still booked us in to the top floor with a 7 yr old child . I asked to be moved which we were eventuality at 2 pm the next day . Absolute joke from start to finish the place is poorly run . No managers in on a weekend . Spoilt the full weekend and i would like reimbursed

Toilet doesnt flush. Kids running up and down the corridor shouting and screaming. Place is old even though you dont think it is when you enter into reception. Nice people on there but the rest leaves a lot to be desired

Lady with curly brown hair on reception had a very poor attitude very abrupt and not welcoming in any way. No advice i.e. internet code etc just heres your keycard! Couldnt get in my room as keycode looked like two 66 but apparently were two 55 hand written. Had to go back down to reception were again was looked at with distain but fortunately the more receptive blond lady helped me out. Room was tired in need of full refurb especially bathroom. Hotel in general looks like it needs full make over with staff that understand customer service basics!!!

Lovely staff but condition of the hotel needs improvement. Both the interior and exterior of the hotel are tired and dated. Overall room was of an ok standard however there were numerous stains that should have been cleaned.

Functional - but not nice

Bed had collapsed mattress - hotel had overwhelming smell of smoke on upper floors - sofa in room had foam internals showing - sofa in room had cigarette burns on arms - bathroom floor grout had been painted… poorly because it’s dirty - bathroom has unacceptable amount of human hair.

Lovely hotel and staff

Staff friendly and very helpful. Room was a bit warm as it was a humid day. Reception got us a fan for the room. Was very clean and comfortable room and very quiet and peaceful sleep. In the morning we had breakfast the lady we spoke to was amazingly helpfully and hospitable. Made sure we had everything we needed and even had a lovely chat with us after we finished. Great service and breakfast. Will definitely stay again.
