Booked a superior room with two beds. Got a not very superior room with one bed only. Back to the reception to get a two bed room. Got it, but I wouldn’t call it superior. Maintenance is with no doubt needed at this establishment. Very friendly staff. Breakfast included and is of good standards.

I got multiple complains from the person that I booked the room for, who suppose to enjoy the stay. The complain basically revolved on the smell in the room, from the carpet, and in the fridge. We perhaps unlucky to get an old room! But the hotel is still my favourite because of the service and the location.

Not a four star experience. More like 1 star

This hotel experience was bad from start to finish. We made a confirmed booking via hotels.com but received an email from the hotel 3 days before saying if we did not pay for the room within 6 hours the booking would be cancelled. We tried to pay via phone and email, doing everything we were asked, but received no confirmation of payment despite repeatedly asking. We arrived after a 6000 mile journey not kowing if we had a room or not. Upon arrival we were asked to pay and were allocated a room, 625. This room had no windows to the outside, broken aircon and a tiny fan that made no difference to the stifling heat in the room. In addition the shower walls were covered in black mould making showering a very unpleasant experience.
