Craig

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
We have stayed here several times but found this stay rather disappointing. The hotel is in a good location but we would be unlikely to stay here again. We stay in the club room but the benefits it used to have such as happy hour and the club room lounge where you could get a coffee, are no longer in operation. The self serve shop is very pricey. The lifts could sometimes take a long time and didn’t always stop at the floor selected. I also found it odd that if you wanted your room cleaned you needed to display the sign prior to 6am.

Reception need educating

Reception was poor, only two folks on the reception and queues waiting to be dealt with.. One lady came out form a room behind reception, i was on of perhaps 5 people wanting to check in and she walked off, not good. Then one of two who were there helped some chap who just walked up to reception, jumping the queue. Was not a goo introduction to how the hotel greets its guest.
