Checked in in the evening and staff were helpful. Room was basic, which was expected. I did seem to have a problem with my key, but the bar and reception staff were really helpful to resolve. The Aircon in the room seemed to only produce heat (minimum temp 22 degrees Celsius), which made the room very stuffy. Opening the window was the only way to cool the room, but being close to a busy dual carriageway, road noise was then a bit load. At breakfast, there was only 1 staff member around for serving people, who definitely didn't want to be there and customers seemed to be a massive inconvenience for her. There were items unavailable and the breakfast overall just seemed to have a hostile and negative atmosphere. Avocado on toast with eggs was nice, the pancakes were a rip off (3 measly small pancakes with some mushed frozen berry thing on them). Overall, room and breakfast was a bit expensive for what it was, we did sleep okay, but breakfast was a huge let down, and worse still, I saw that we could have got a significant discount on breakfast if we'd have booked it with the room, which was not an option on Expedia.

The hotel facilities were acceptable for the price. However, there was some noise from outside late at night, and the hotel lacked an elevator, which could be a bit inconvenient for travelers with heavy luggage.

Good Location. Bad Hotel

Although advertised the hotel does not have Aircon. And unable to open the window as it was damaged The hotel itself is next door to the pub, thus there are no staff in the hotel itself. The staff did not want to know, and actively ignore any issues as they are too busy in the pub There appears be little or no maintenance in the hotel. There were two contractor groups who had been there for a couple of weeks and had complained daily about issues, but nothing had ever been done

Good to stay, not so much to eat or shower.

Food in the pub part was just about ok. Very much tasted like it was re-heated and dry. If it were served fresh it would have been good. Shower pressure was terrible. Everything else was good.

Room was outdated, everything seemed very old, wouldn’t stay there again. In fact, out of 5 hotels I’ve stayed in the UK, this is the only one I wouldn’t go back to.

Would never return

Check in was smooth. Friendly staff. Immediately went to room and within minutes of being in the room, 2 men walked in leaving my child stood scared as I was in the bathroom at the time. Whilst scrambling to get decent they said oh we’re here to fix your window. I shouted please come back in 5 mins. They never returned. One of these people had checked us in just minutes before so knew we had checked in. There was no handle on the window which left it permanently open. It wouldn’t have mattered as it was warm and I probably wouldn’t have noticed but it turned out to be a boy racer spot. Which I also wouldn’t have minded if they hadn’t played tunes to each other all night with their horns. It went on until after 1am. Then at 8am the grass cutters were out to cut the grass under the window. We also had a main light out in the room. The temperature control wasn’t working. The bathroom had no fan so the shower filled with steam. I’m just glad it didn’t set anything off. The curtains and net blind were so grimy and stained it was a bit disgusting. It’s the second Marston Inn I’ve stayed in within a month and I was hoping the first one was just a one off but it seems to be across the chain. Rooms should be checked after turnover. Either the staff need more time to fully clean up or they need paid more for more incentive to keep their employers happy.

Good stay - room a little cramped for a family.

It was a nice enough room but very cramped. It didn't feel like a family room - just a normal room with extra beds squeezed in to be honest. The room was clean and tidy the the restaurant and breakfast excellent and very cost friendly. Our room was next to the door, so it was a little noisy - especially with people leaving early. Other than that - it was a good room, affordable, and I'm a good location
