We had to ask for clean towels as they had dirt marks, shower curtain had mould on the bottom. We did ask for them to be changed which they did while we were out. The sink and bath were damaged, grout near the bath black mould. sealant under window also had black mould. Carpets stained. Reception and public areas look really nice but the rooms need an upgrade. Staff were really nice and polite.

The hotel was basic but clean and well maintained. The staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast had something for everyone including myself (gluten free and vegetarian). Great travel routes onto the city centre which was easy to use and fast. The biggest issue was the beds! The bed was just too small (double) and on wheels so when someone moved the whole bed moved. Didnt sleep well any of the nights which did put a bit of a strain on the holiday .

Room had bloodstains on the carpet, bedsheets had bloodstains, which is requested and were changed. There cobwebs on both bedside corners, no wash cloth as they did not know what they were when requested. No small fridge to keep small items and water. When requested I was told by one of the staff, that some of the IHG hotels in Asia and Mideast do not have anything like I am asking for. I reminded her, I am not in those locations and have never been! I could not wait to get out of there.

Overall our stay was good. Only disappointment was the bar when we came back one evening wanting a drink. We were advised that they could not take payment for drinks after 11pm and that we were to speak to reception and give our credit card details and that they would charge a £50 holding fee, which would be adjusted when we checked out. For 2 drinks, this was absolutely pointless!! We were also given a discount card to use at the bar, but were not advised that this could not be used after 11pm?? All in all - no one seemed to know what or why these rules were in place?! It would have been helpful to have been given all this information when we first checked in!!
