Gilbert

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Functionality for connecting to WIFI is user unfriendly, I was the third person having to return to Reception to have it enabled. Room cold on arrival, room heater functionality complex, no instructions availability. Toilet cracked, bathroom tiles cracked, rust on the handles for people with limited mobility. Everything about the Cadrona indicates faded glory with petty efforts to squeeze further savings out of running costs

A lovely hotel even if tiles in the entrance are strange as they look like mucky footprints . Evening dinner menu was limited and food awful . Don’t order Chicken tikka ! Room was lively but things like the muck round the soap dispenser were a bit concerning as to when it was last cleaned or filled . Breakfast choice and quality of food lovely but the areas around the Bain Marie’s were littered with spoiled food and clogged serving spoons and the food was always cold and even on our two week days busy from 9 am so had to wait over twenty minutes for a table .

There was nobody at reception to check me in and I had to wait a while but the staff were friendly. Ordered room service which was not great as dish was slightly cold and I was charged quite heavily for the convenience! Room was quite noisy as above the area of the bar where people could sit outside.

Decent stay. Main reason I chose here was that it listed it had laundry facilities (according to its details on Expedia), only to come and find out there are no laundry facilities. Ended up having to find a hacky way to get my laundry done. But other than that, it’s a decent place for the night: spacious, comfy bed, front desk was really nice. It was good for a night, but wouldn’t really want to stay any longer honestly
