Wasn’t the happiest for what I paid. When we got to our first room, it had make up on the curtains, the curtain door was off the hook and the main light was not working so it was really dark in the room. We got our second room and the toilet flush wasn’t working (we tried to fix it ourselves as we didn’t want to complain again, although we did let them know when we were leaving) the couch in the room the material was hanging off the seat. Was really unhappy with how much I paid. The only positive I can say is that the bed was very comfy and the staff were very kind.

Room was not that clean, one lift working which didn’t even take 3 people, no eggs for breakfast. Staff were friendly enough but there’s only so much they can do. Parking costs £9 and I didn’t get asked about it so may have got a fine if I didn’t ask….

How do I pay for parking to stay in a hotel and a land that belongs to the hotel? This is unheard! The room we were allocated had a poor cooling/ heating system. When I complained, the receptionist brought a standing fan as replacement. I refused because it will be too noisy and I asked for a change. The receptionist initially refused, I threatened to ask for refund before you opted to give me another room. What a shame.
