Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I checked in and the staff were very polite and helpful I went to the room and opened the door with a push as it was very tight in the frame and was welcomed by an overwhelming powerful smell of damp! I then seen damage in several areas of the room. I went back to reception and asked for a different room due to the above reasons, i was told the damp was due to a flood 2 weeks earlier however another room was given. I went to the second room and the smell was even worse and there were no working electrics in the room. I went back down to reception and at this point i was late for where i was due to be so i asked for the 1st room and went and brought some frabreeze. I just thought if all rooms are like it just get on with it. The day of checking out at 06:45 someone let themselves into my room which i hope abd think was housekeeping rather than a random persom they left without saying who they were. I checked out and asked to see the manager. After speaking to the manager who was very apologetic on view of the pictures and information i shared with her she sorted out a free stay at a later date to give them chance to show they can do better. They accepted the stay i had was not what they aim to give so i accepted her offer as she seemed genuinely annoyed at the poor standard on this occasion

Parking is also open to non-residents so there were no spaces - had to park on a double yellow line round the back of the hotel which was concerning. No room service and the bar closed at 9:30pm which was disappointing as we'd returned to the hotel just after that and fancied a drink. Otherwise, the room was great and the staff were friendly and polite. Great location.

Paid for a slightly better room as it looked good on the pics however was nothing compared to the pictures. Tv was not working, room overall was outdated eg. ac controls and light switches. Shower was dirty there was someone else’s hair hanging from the lamp in the room.
