Spiders everywhere in my room
Liked: Location
Disliked: Multiple spiders in my room and spider webs in corners of the room. Bar staff weren’t very welcoming or friendly.

Would definately not stay again...
Disliked: One of our party was locked out of his room no night service spent night on sofa in reception. When I complained in the morning was sworn at by member of staff, and told I was not getting bloody nothing Quote.Was contacted by manager who apologised for his member of staff and promised to get back to be. Have not heard from them. Avoid this place my colleague was not the only person who had issues with his room key either.On a positive note the sofa was apparently comfy, but for £110?

Disliked: Nothing could have been better

A rabbit warren
Liked: Good breakfast, restaurant looked over the river, hotel located in the centre of town, bathroom recently refurbished, decent sized bath towels, hotel was very clean
Disliked: Staff member misinformed us of latest check in time so we were greeted on arrival by short tempered staff member. The building is a rabbit warren with steep stairs to 2nd floor (the lift has a 3rd floor button which takes you to 1st floor). Our room was extremely hot, even with 2 large fans on, and the window only opened about 4 inches. The bathroom floor got very wet when any of us had a shower as there wasn't enough room to get out of the over-bath shower past the wash basin without opening out the bath screen and water dripping onto the floor. The day of the wedding, it became apparent there was only 1 iron for the whole hotel. On Mon morning as we were checking out to go and get breakfast in the town (the hotel info says no breakfast on Mondays) we were told we had been sent a message that breakfast was available (a good thing) but no message had arrived, nor did it for my relation also staying there.

Location good. Hotel disappointing given...
Liked: Location was great as we had a local wedding. Central location. Good parking.
Disliked: Really needs a refresh and review of all the layouts / very difficult to navigate the hotel and find rooms. Breakfast location and service and offering needs attention!!
