The room was clean and comfortable. Requested a water view by email and also asked questions about check in via email but did not get a reply. When I telephoned about check in the person was helpful. The water view was lovely from the front of the hotel, unfortunately we had a car park view from the back of the hotel.

Apart from the bed in apartment 301, it was a lovely stay. Away accommodation never has comfy seating in the lounge, and no exception here. But that bed could have been replaced 20 years ago! Otherwise, lovely stay on all counts.

Have a look under your bed if you dare ….

Good location in the town. But only dejected rooms have water view. A little tired, uncomfortable bed , but detail edge cleaning poor. Have a look under your bed if you dare . Gym and pool was closed and no reception out of business hours

We liked the secure parking. We booked through Expedia, but we needed to shift our booking to the next night. We contacted the property to change the booking, rather than through Expedia. Big mistake. The property accepted the change, but sent us no confirmation. I requested a confirmation via email. No answer. I called them and then received a confirmation email, but it claimed we would be charged for the room on check in. We had already been charged by Expedia. We emailed the property and requested a confirmation that the room was fully paid. No responce. We contacted their head office, who called the property and verbally confirmed that no money was owing. We arrived after their front desk had closed. A sign on the front door stated that late check ins would receive a text telling them how to access their room key. We had received no text. Finally, by contacting their 'emergency number,' we were able to access our room. A lot of hassle!

Nothing like it used to be under previous management! Arrived late at night to a room with about three sheets of toilet paper in roll and no more in cupboards and no free-to-air tv channels. Mentioned to reception next day … two rolls of paper delivered and put on desk near door, but no effort to address tv other than put “instructions” (which don’t match the tv controls by the way!) on top of the rolls! Really poor effort! Daily Housekeeping was supposed to be included - it occurred once only in a three night stay and consisted of making bed and changing towels - no vacuum, cleaning bathrooms etc. Hygiene not a priority at all. Room 405 was incredibly noisy. Industrial bins emptied in alley behind the building at 4am each morning and could hear band at hotel until midnight as well. None of these things are necessarily the hotel’s fault, but these were nothing compared to the 630am wake-up from a fire alarm in the building. After 10 minutes of not seeing a fire warden or getting any instructions, I called the emergency reception number … they did not even know an alarm was going off so I had to hold phone up for them to hear it. Their response - “you can head to the street if you are worried” … but can’t use the lift and no way to get out of fire stairs until basement … which then has no way to get to street unless you are in a car so it triggers the automatic door! No fire warden, no instructions - they just didn’t care! Used to be so much better … not recommended now!
