1 night stay

One night stay. Just what was needed however for a double bed this was extremely small for 2 people. Also only 1 cup in room for tea/coffee, when room was booked for 2 people. Food ok. Breakfast buffet was half empty. Could have been kept on top of.

The hotel seemed very tired and worn. The room smelt of TCP, the bed was a very small double and it was extremely hard. Breakfast was poor quality food. Overall at £180 is was very expensive for what we had, would not stay here again

Perfectly fine for one night. The whole place is looking a bit tired and could do with renovating. Staff were fine although the stay was marred by having a power cut.

There were several boiled sweets on the floor of the bathroom and under our bed, and there were a few physical issues with the bathroom which worried me a bit. Our room looked out over a rather ugly flat roof, which wasn't ideal, but not too important. My family were really enthusiastic for the pool, but I found it rather cold (and the jacuzzi also), and the changing facilities were not in a brilliant state. The food and service in the restaurant were on the whole very good, but I did feel we paid quite a lot for that, and breakfast was slightly chaotic. When I wanted a coffee with my breakfast, for example, both coffee machines were out of order at the same time. The toaster seemed to slightly burn most of the toast. I felt like the staff were reacting to complaints rather than preemptively fixing problems and shortages before things ran out. Overall, not a bad stay, but a few details stopped it being truly memorable.

Ok for a short stay. The rooms can be better especially the beds. They are very small. Very difficult to contact staff from room. Despite listing room service, housekeeping etc, none of the contact numbers work from in-room telephone. Front desk didn’t respond to telephone calls and every time we had to go down to get things done. Mixed experience with service. Front desk staff during check-in was friendly but didn’t experience the same with others. Good breakfast
