Lovely surprise!

What a lovely surprise to find the foyer, bar and restaurant all refurbished. Feels amazing as you walk in. They're still in the process of doing the bedrooms, but even though ours was not done, still lovely and clean. The bed was so comfortable. The staff were very helpful, especially the manager. It was a delight.

Great Hotel

Very impressed. The hotel's main areas have been refurbished to a very high standard. So light, airy and fresh. Put a smile on my face as I arrived. They are in the process of updating the bedrooms, but even though ours wasn't done, it was lovely, clean, comfortable and the bed was really comfortable, with good pillows. I had an excellent night's sleep. The staff were really helpful, especially the manager. We will be back.

Stayed at this hotel before over the years, room was lovely, paid for a deluxe, shower in the bathroom was a disgrace, hardly any pressure, you had to hold it, mentioned when checking out and they said were aware already!!! Breakfast was disappointing, cold food, cold plates, had to ask for bread for toast. Think it might be used at present for homeless. Receptionist was lovely and friendly. Foyer area has had a refurbish and very nice.

Disliked: Cleanliness
We were particularly disappointed with our room. The bathroom had cracked and broken tiles, towel rail torn from the wall, extract fan not working etc. The single beds were the smallest single beds I have ever experienced, dressing table was very badly stained, chair was covered in crumbs or particles of whatever, decor extremely poor, tv had only one channel we could access. For the costs charged we would have expected a much higher standard

On the outside the hotel looks amazing, the reception and restaurant to. The front of house staff were great, friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was lovely but the room it is in appears to be a little make shift, as if it is something they only thought about. The rooms and room areas we a lot different. The rooms were predominately clean and tidy, but with issues. The furniture is very dated, with draws that dont open properly and just looks very different to the polished reception. When we arrived they was a pile of dirty linen left on the floor in the hall way, and was still there the next day. Not a great look. At one point the lift was broken and they appeared to spend an amount of time looking for a member of staff to reset it, just ring a repair man! H&S would have been better served by a qualified elevator repair service than Joe from back of house. On one of the mornings it looked as if someone had been sick on the front steps and it took a little while for that to be cleaned. I think for £100 per night, they need to up their game a little. Would i stay there again, I dont know. I do need to finish that the staff were very good and approachable.
