Some improvement suggestions

Good overall. room clean & tidy. 1) Had a bit of an issue with the (sprinkler) light flashing every 7 seconds all night. So getting off to sleep a bit of a problem. 2) No blinds or net curtains at window on ground floor. 3) No mini fridge.

My worst experience ever!

I have never stayed anywhere and been treated as poorly as i was on friday I paid £100 for the stay, the staff were quite young watched me struggle around the hotel trying to do various tasks and no one helped me, some staff even walked straight pass me The quality of the room was appalling, mould, the furniture was very dated and didnt match, burnt iron marks on tge carpet, i paid for a king size reasonable size room, i was given a double box size room, tge breakfast was cold and very limited and at dinner time again i was ignored, left sitting down for over 20 minutes, no one came to offer any assistant or explain the process, so i went to bed hungry, each day i asked for milk for my baby to be warmed up it wasnt done, i had to drive out and find a costa. The venue isnt disabled friendly at all, the pool and the facilities are the best thing about this hotel They need to put a info pack.in the rooms, we nearly missed breakfast and also a blind or net curtain at the windows, we couldn't open the curtain because people from the restaurant could see us in the room The paint work was appalling, cracks in the ceiling, the tap was so loud, you thought it was going to burst i could have stayed in the travelodge and had a much better stay! I paid a much higher premium because i wanted to have a luxury stay and i recieved the worse stay ever I have never been treated so badly in my life They didnt even ask how my stay was as i checked out No care in the world!

5 stars

The staff here are unbelievable. They are a credit, not only to the hotel, but customer service and hospitality in general. Tyler, Josh, Mark and the entire team were friendly and personable throughout every moment of our stay. They met all our requests minimal fuss or issue and all went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at ease. The WiFi was not the strongest but with the facilities on offer, this was no problem to us and did not affect our stay. We would highly recommend and we look forward to returning in the future. Massive thank you to the whole Waterside team. Come on United!
