2/10 Poor

The room was damp and smelt foisty. The hotel looked old and tired. Carpets were frayed and old. Door didn't lock properly. Room wasn't very clean and was dated. The menu was exorbitantly over priced as were drinks. I checked out and booked a Holiday Inn nearby. When I said I was checking out, none of the staff asked why, they were more bothered about who to hand the room key to.

Feels dirty I cannot sleep
Staff and front of house all lovely and clean. However my room is full of spider webs and damp. The kettle contains mould and looks like the mirror does too? There is so many bugs and even marks on the bedsheets. The bed is like sleeping in a hammock it’s that dipped. Nothing like the pictures or 4* once past reception. I’m disappointed

Not great
The hot Breakfast although plentiful was barely warm, and the EV charging a joke, 6 bays occupied by 5 petrol cars and one Ev which wasn't even plugged in, why ask for Reg no's if as you say you can't do anything about it!!!

Didnt stay due to cleanliness isdues in rooms
Unfortunately I didnt stay as the rooms were not clean enough. The light switvhes were all dirty cobwebs on lamps, daddy lonlegs on coach. The lift walls & carpet were filthy. I was taken to a 2nd room which had been checked & on openi g door filthy light switch. Due to my immune system i have to be careful not to get infections so i didnt stay & left. Hitels.com issued refund. The staff at the hotel were friendly & tried to be helpful but cleainess needs to be overhauled.
