Disappointed

Comfort good enough, friendliness good enough but service at mealtimes leaves a lot to be desired. Had a dinner with our family which, despite us being the only ones there, took a long time ! Waiting 45-60 mins for meal to arrive is not acceptable. Breakfast next day was the same (and we never did get our cereal) Staffing levels need to be looked at.

Deceiving website and overpriced

The hotel website is deceiving! On arrival it looks very shabby and the gentleman on reception advised that the restaurant was closed due to chef illness. The room had a camp bed for our teenage daughter. The blinds were plastic and were broken and the windows single glazed and rotten. One of the pillows had stains on and the bedding felt cheap. The whole hotel needs a full overhaul and in its current condition/services is VERY overpriced!

Awful

Rooms very small, overpriced, scrapes on walls with paper missing, water marks on walls in bathroom decoration in poor repair, dirty marks on quilt cover and what appeared to be a mustard-coloured throw in quilt cover not a proper quilt.

I strongly advise against it

it was my first business trip to the UK. I have stayed in several places and hotels but this one was the worst. Dirty, dark, even something as simple as internet doesn't work. Carpet in the bathroom by the toilet is an exaggeration and it's scary to think about what's on it - I think that the UV light would make it visible. If you have arachnophobia, think twice before staying there. Surroundings around the hotel and parking neglected. The hotel staff should know that the floors are also wet wiped, not only vacuumed, but it's more difficult work, that's why no one does it and the floor is sticky. I strongly advise against staying. Such places should be eliminated from the market.
