Wouldnt stay again

I booked 3 business class rooms and only one was like the picture shown on website. One room especially was really bad. The bed mattress was in a terrible state with broken springs. When we asked at reception to move us they said they didnt have any more rooms except the deluxe which was another 200 pounds and had to be kept for emergencies. We said couldnt they use our room for emergencies instead, the reply was we cant because the beds broken. So ok for us to use but not in a so called emergency. Had to put up with it the whole break which was for my daughters birthday. Breakfast was ok. Bar meal was bad. I must say though that apart from two all the staff were lovely.

The hotel,staff and service was excellent but the room was tired.The widow lock was broken and the shower over the bath didn't work.Due to the weather and no air conditioning the room was unbearably hot. The fan was broken which they did replace but it was still faulty and made that much noise we couldn't use at night. The Spa and facility's were excellent and also the breakfast. Would I stay again, not in summer due to no AC and probably not until I know the rooms have been upgraded. For the price I think you can find better.

The hotel is walking distance from the centre and this is the reason i booked it. Its about 10 mins walk. There are a lot of restaurants. Its between a residential area and google had trouble finding. Parking was difficult to find and there is a £12/day charge for parking which they take when you check in. Hotel was clean. Had a bar and restaurant (i didnt use either) There is a lift. Breakfast was ok.

The hotel is tired and dated and needs a good refurbishment it was 32 degrees and no air conditioning in the rooms but also the windows are wired up so we couldn’t even get any air through the room it was so uncomfortable the whole hotel were complaining and I know we can’t control the weather but it’s time some money was spent bringing this hotel up to the modern standard considering your charging top prices also I thought the car park charges were very steep £36 for 3 nights
