Not very accessible room

I had requested a room accessible by wheel chair and they had not answered. The receptionist did her best but the room was a long way from the lift and through two lots of doors. Also the room was tiny, we've stayed before but never had such a small room.

Outdated, hot and pricey

Hotel was very dated in decor. It was a very hot couple of nights; whilst not something the hotel can changed, there was no air con but just a fan blowing around hot air. The heated mirror in the bathroom and pipes by the window was also adding to the heat. The doors slam shut and a gap under the bedroom doors means you can hear the people in the corridors. The corridors were also lined with empty bottles and glasses when we arrived, so not very welcoming. Rooms was generally well cleaned and the bed was comfy. There was a boxing event the first night we arrived so there was also noise from this; it would have been courteous if the hotel informed its guests of this in advance. Didnt have breakfast so can't comment on the food quality. Personally I wouldn't stay again and didnt think it was worth the cost.

The staff are excellent. Very professional and helpful. Cleanliness is A1. Breakfast is very good with a good range in choice from full English to fruit and yogurt. With the freak UK weather air con is a must. But fully understand for the 4 days a year we get excessive weather it’s probably not worth the cost. But that said it’s a nice hotel with great Staff

Great but no hot water

Was a really nice room and really great staff, breakfast was brilliant. just would’ve been nice to know that the hot water wasn’t working. It wasn’t just in my room either as we had friends in another room and their hot water wasn’t working either.

A very tired hotel which with some investment could be lovely again. Leisure club a great addition but again desperately needs a refurb. Also closing the jakuzzi for cleaning on a busy sunday morning is not the best time.

If it weren't for the staff, this would be a typical run-of-the-mill conference hotel. However, the staff are outstanding - I stay in hotels at least twice a week, and the reception experience from Steve was the best and friendliest I've ever had. Throughout the rest of my day, from breakfast, through to the events team I noticed such care and passion from the team, with many people pro-actively spotting when guests needed help or guidance. Really world-class service, thank you.
