Room very tied and requires refurbishment
Derek, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Needs a refurb.

Firstly i have to say the staff were all very helpful and fiendly. We stayed there due to it being close to an event we were attending. Good points are it was easy to find and good free parking. The hotel itself however is sorely in need of a refurb of the rooms and the public areas. Everything is clearly old, tatty and well past its best. Our bathroom had a drainy smell but this smell was present in many parts of the hotel including the bar area and the corridors. Cooked breakfast was ok but the continental choice was a bit lacking. My wifes big bug bear is rooms that dont have mirrors on dressing tables so she can do her hair and makeup so dragging a chair over to the wardrobe to use the only mirror which was actually inside the wardrobe whilst trying to make the hairdryer reach certainly didnt get her vote. My summary, ok for a night but dont set your expectations high. It is what it is, an oldish, unloved, unmodernised, outdated, in places grubby and in need of a oaint job, but if all you want is a bed for the night then thix will do. By the way, bed was comfy.
Gary, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not cleaned/updated after housing asylum seekers

Having arrived and being given a non smoking room that smelt of smoke and damp I asked for another room to find it was just as bad. The hotel had been used to house asylum seekers and not refurbished before opening again. It is not fit for humans ! I checked out and found another hotel (they refused a refund)
D, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not Happy

Building very shabby. Shower tray broken and didn't drain. No iron available. Constant smell of weed in the corridor. Breakfast was adequate but cold. On the plus side, the towels were pristine and the bed was comfortable.
Elaine, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

All I needed was a cheap but acceptable room. The room was tired, poorly maintained. Plumbing sqeeked & oscillated, sink blocked, everything in the room worn out. View was of a room with cables everywhere. The hotel was characterised for me in the not providing any shower gel or soaps etc. Amusingly, they had left the metal holders for the bottles screwed to the wall. Presumably from the more generous previous owners. FELT WELL BELOW BEST WESTERN standard.
Trevor, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff always friendly and polite, rooms comfortable, and lovely range and set up for breakfast
Loretta, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The bathroom left a lot to be desired. Soap dispensers didn't work/empty. Informed staff did nothing. Shower was leaking. Toilet was disgusting. Windows were filthy. Blinds were faulty. Overall very disappointing.
Simon, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Mixed bag

There was a rowdy wedding going on and staff were overstretched. Shouting and banging of doors all night. Comfortable bed, but hair in the shower. Behaviour of other guests is of course out of the staff’s control, but more staff should have been on duty in anticipation.
Jolanda, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Dated, horrible, I was able to hear the person next door having a bath, everything is old and horrible except the TV. The sheets were clean. I wanted my money back

Honest review

The hotel is a little old and could do with a refurb BUT the staff were friendly, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable and it was very quiet which for me are the four most important things in a hotel stay!

Booked as it was the nearest hotel to Engelfield House where we were attending a concert. Just needed a bed for the night and it did the job.
Susan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Booked for one night as was at an event. The room was clean and basic but it was roasting hot and there was no air con. There was a fan provided but it did little to help.
