2 members of staff
Had to wait 10 minutes for the manager so we could check in, apparently there were only 2 people working and 1 of them was the manager.
This hotel was so much better when it was the Hampton ls.
Rooms very basic.
Cleaner knocked on the door around 10am wanting to clean.

Nice Comfortable hotel
Everything was a nice order. Did not realize there was a gym in the hotel. Receptionist was helpful only problem was the reception was on the 4th floor rather than ground floor. Bed were comfortable and housekeepers were around to keep the rooms tidy

No breakfast and noisey corridor.
The room was standard but ok. The heating was off and was freezing and took a long time to warm up. The hotel was very loud and guest shouting up the corriders at night.
The reason we booked here was because breakfast was included. We were informed that all the ovens were broken and there was only cereal and bread and we got rushed out of the restaurant soon after.

Very pleasant staff. Very poor air conditioning. Had to have window open, but disturbed by noisy and pub and bus station throughout the night. Bed absolutely appalling - sinking in the middle and lumpy.

Air conditioning not working. Wasn’t told ahead of time so not given the option to change. Hotel rate was not changed to reflect the poorer offering. They gave us some water and a fan. I will not stay again.

Changed our room without notice.
We booked a room with two beds and they moved us to a room with only one double bed. Unsurprisingly, they didn't reduce the cost.
