Usually a good place to stay. But last night I was kept up until after 11pm due to a loud repetitive banging noise. I rang at 10.30pm and was told they’d investigate. They said it was the pipe cleaning from the bar. And said it would be over in 10mins. It was another 35minutes until finished. I get up at 5.30am so was trying to sleep. It was really poor.

I booked this hotel so that I could get an early check in as a VIP member, after a long flight from the US. I arrived 2 hours early and was told that the room was available, but I would have to pay if I wanted to check in an earlier. I did not receive any of the VIP Expedia benefits and had to put up with a very rude receptionist called Hadia in the evening who kept talking over me. I called the reception and was in my pajamas but she told me I needed to go down to see her so I had to change to go down to talk to her. She then continued to talk over me very rudely telling me that I did not get the benefits because I did not ask for them at check in and that now I was not going to get them because I had a bad attitude. The new junior receptionist, Lily Anne should be better trained and understand the Expedia VIP benefits.

Unfaif to not inform if noisy room until arrival
Arrived at the hotel on a Saturday night and was told there was a function and that it may be noisy ib the room but wohld stop at midnight, we could stay in the bar if too noisy! It was very noisy in the room and really shoyld be advised when booking and offerres a discount if choosing to stay, we would not have stayed, this was the underlying problem and spoilt the whole stay, not impressed

Family break away
Travelled as a family of 3 and the hotel really accomodated us- even getting milk for my son at 6am. I wish we'd been given a sheet for his travel cot- he probably would have slept better if there was a sheet on the cot. But other than that, we had a lovely stay.
