The girls behind the main desk were helpful and very polite. They dealt with our booking in a very professional manor during this very difficult time. They let us know where we could get food etc which was very helpful.

Poor rooms

Customer review rating 3.9/5

Martin S. Business - 26/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

As I have stayed many times and get my staff to stay in the hotel, I appear to stay in some poor rooms and as I have been in the new block on occasions this is a better experience Breakfast is no longer buffet style and looks like hotel in decline

Dear Mr s., Thank you for taking the time in sharing your experiences. I apologise this stay was some what different from your previous experiences, due to the government lock down the hotel is unable to serve a full breakfast as the restaurant and bar are not to be opened and we are currently only open for key workers. I do hope upon your next visit we will all be back up and running. Kind regards, Lauren Sutton, Hotel Manager

Good service, friendly staff, clean room with amenities. Enjoyed the stay as always. The hotel is very well located with loads of options for dining.

Room was dated, noisy, and small

Anonymous Solo - 24/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

was basic and would have been ok except for the fact the room was next to the stairs and opposite a function room, and had no sound proofing so was noisy all through the night and early in the morning.

very happy

i was staying a short one due to a concert i was attending the staff was friendly and welcoming the hotel it self was really nice inside very posh. the actually hotel name outside wasn't really clear it definely need to be re done to brighten it so it visible for customers. my hotel room was cosy the only snag i have is about hardly any hot water i know the showers were eco free but i like hot showers and there was bearly any.

Radu Business - 15/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Second time in this hotel and likely last. First time was ok and thought the little quirks were just that. Alas, this time it was worse. While I specifically asked for a quiet room (booked many weeks in advance), I get the room right next to the elevator! How can anyone think that's quite, beats me. The only other available room was "by the lane", which was deemed to be worse, so no choice left. As expected, it was noisy, with the elevator bing and voice all the time, the hard steps, bags, and the commotion usually taking place around the elevator. Room was actually more of a junior suite and had the bed been placed in the second room, it would've been likely very quiet. Unfortunately, it was right next to the (very thin) entrance door and a few meters only from the elevator noise. Furthermore, the bathroom window was open by about 3 inches. I advised the front desk after the first night, nothing was done. Otherwise the breakfast is good and sleep quality could be good, if one could get some decent sleep.

A hotel that desperately needs up dating

Colin E. Business - 15/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Friendly staff, comfortable bed and plenty of parking. The hotel is so desperate of updating inside and out, I personally would not stay here again until it has been updated

Good stay

I have to say that our stay at this hotel was exceptional ! From when we entered the hotel to a warm welcome to the wow factor of our room even to when we left our case with you while finishing off our trip before leaving the staff and facilities were wonderful.

Dear Christopher R., Thank you for taking the time in sharing your experiences and I am pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Kind Regards Lauren Sutton, Hotel Manager
