Used self check in on arrival which was good but staff walked past several times without an hello and we also used self check out and again no goodbye. So we had zero interaction with staff which didn’t appear very welcoming. The window in the room looked into the interior of the building and into other windows so didn’t feel very private. Room has been updated since I last stayed but it still feels quite unmanaged, scuff marks on walls, toilet seat coming of the toilet etc. The whole place just needs that bit more attention to detail.

An Ok stay

A 2 night stay ….. we’ve Stayed in Clayton hotels before , but for some reason this hotel seamed bang average . Corridors and rooms looked a little tired , marks on carpets and lots of maintenance issues in the room .restaurant and reception areas looked fine . Breakfast was ok but overall expected better . We stayed a night in the premier inn opposite on day 1 which was a really nice experience in rooms and communal areas where lovely , clean and fresh .day 2 and 3 we thought we’d treat ourselves to the Clayton and I really didn’t see the extra £75 difference per night . Wouldn’t return as our experience in the hotel wasnt up to the price tag per night. Overall Disappointed in the Clayton.
