Room is spacious but basic and tired.
Service at breakfast was poor, no clean tea plates, food offerring was basic and not replenished, tables not bleared in a tinely manner.
Cleaning staff forced their way onto lifts with cleaning tolleys.- lack of training.

Tired, run down and filthy
Very overpriced for a tired, run down room. The photos of the property were deceiving. Had I known that it was tired, run down and not particularly clean I would never have chosen this hotel. For 1 night at £400 is utterly disgraceful.

Great hotel but room let it down
The hotel and public areas are prestine and give a great first impression. When we got to our room 503 i was really disappointed although the bathroom was modern and lovely to use.
We paid £180 for this room so by no means a 'cheap option' it felt like a premier inn standard which we could have got for half the money.
Also the cooked breakfast was so dry as everything had been left out too long. When we checked out we went to the car park to find our car had been boxed in by some idiot motorist who parked along a double yellow line section. Reception tried to sort quickly. But as they didnt have that reg on the system they had to contact the owner of the car next to us to move theirs. Luckily they were at the hotel when all this happened.

Good hotel and staff. The only thing negative was room service . Ordered 3 meals and 3 drinks, phone call straight away to say one meal not available so ordered a different meal. Over an hour later, only 2 meals delivered and no drinks. No solution offered apart from can bring 3rd meal in an hour, no offer for drinks to be brought up or any solution. Liam offered free breakfast for the next morning, but as already paid for this, it wasn’t an option. Ruined the experience and the image I had of the hotel
