Probably a good hotel in the 90s.
Quite a dismal experience. All started with having to phone someone to request attendance at reception so that i could check in. A member of staff was walking past seeing I was waiting and didn’t mention a word. Then when someone else arrived after five minutes or so, I was advised that it would cost £5 for parking (not detailed on booking). Get to the room past the corridors that have not seen a lick of paint of had the deteriorating wallpaper replaced and things aren’t much better. Black marks on the walls, mould on the shower grout, dust in the light fittings, a TV from 2005.. it’s endless. Upon departure the next morning the breakfast was just as dire. Continental selection barely existent and the quality of cooked breakfast definitely isn’t aware winning as per their menu. For the price point they charge, steer clear.

6/10 Good

Hotel satisfactory, but a few issues.
At check in, we weren't given a code to exit the car park. We assumed the barrier was automatic. On check in, clerk only took payment for 1 night. On check out, we were informed we hadn't paid. So we had to look at the email to see if an amount was due. The shower in room 204 was faulty. I had a lukewarm shower 2 days running. It also fluctuated to cold during use. I had informed reception on the evening of the first day, but nothing was done. THIS WAS VERY UNSATISFACTORY! Not what we expect for the money paid. The hotel was clean and otherwise comfortable for our requirements.

2/10 Poor

Disappointing, Tired and does not match website
The pictures and descriptions on the website do not reflect the rooms. Broken and old furniture that was badly marked. Missing furniture (bedside table even reception believe what we were telling them) and indeed also a missing phone so couldn’t call reception to report issues. No air conditioning although a fan was provided in the room which was incredibly warm. Holes in walls and doors, not sure what was spilled down the walls however the runs were evident. Two bath towels and one hand towel for a couple and only two soft pillows. The view was of the hotel roof. The one star was for breakfast, a good variety but most items luke warm at best.

A little far from relaxing
Review of Our Stay We recently stayed at this hotel during our honeymoon, and unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations. The room we were given smelled strongly of cigarettes, which was very unpleasant. The decor was outdated, with old curtains and furniture that seemed well past their prime. The room itself felt run-down; the ceiling above the shower was peeling, and many areas of the room—including the fan—were visibly dusty and poorly maintained. As someone with allergies, this made the stay even more uncomfortable. The cleanliness was a significant concern. At times, the room didn’t feel clean enough to even use the bathroom comfortably. The fan was especially disgusting, covered in dust, which contributed to a sickly feeling whenever it was on. Other parts of the room were equally dusty, making it hard to relax. On top of this, the reception staff were unhelpful. They rarely answered the phone, and when I went downstairs to complain about the smell, no one was available. When I eventually found someone, they offered to spray the room with air freshener, but nothing was done. After further complaints, they offered to move us to a different room, but it wouldn’t have been the same suite we’d initially booked, so we decided to stay put. Overall, this stay was disappointing. The room was not up to standard, the cleanliness was poor, and the staff’s lack of communication made the experience even worse. For the price and occasion, we expected far better. We would not
