Disappointing

Only one elevator was working which meant long delays to access the elevator. Carpets were well worn. Breakfast was disappointing. It was buffet style. The bacon, sausage and other items were under heat lamps and the food was very dry.

Reception and bar staff very friendly and welcoming. Good shower and comfortable bed. Our room was very hot, and noise from road through open window disturbed my sleep. Chair upholstery in bedroom was soiled, and toilet flush didn't work properly.

Overall stay was great. The only issue we came across was the lift. Was very small and myslef and partner couldnt use the lift together as we were to heavy for the left to move. Had 2 lifts but in the time we stated only 1 was ever in use. We were on the 5th floor and we used the stairs coming down. Would stay here again though.

Still an excellent hotel.

Clean hotel with good service. Building and decor need refreshment. No bulb in the lamp in my children's room (family room). Not a massive issue so I didn’t mention it to staff, who I'm sure would have sorted it. Bathroom excellent and loads of room. Breakfast buffet not available but hotel wasn't busy and hot breakfast was available on request. We miss the swimming pool. Brilliant location.
