OK but noisy

Hotel was clean. Nice shower gel and shampoo. Room was spacious. No air conditioning. With window open for air the room was noisy from the traffic until around midnight! Not ideal. Our room 39 had a very musty smell in bathroom. Imagine had had water issues in past.

Not really what I’d call a spa hotel. All the facilities are on the far side of a large carpark. You can’t even pay just to use the swimming pool, you have to pay the full spa fee. The staff are friendly enough but the building and rooms are pretty charmless.

A bit worn out and expensive

The hotel is a touch worn down. I booked mainly to use the Gym. If you book through a 3rd party there is a charge of £15 per session to use the gym. A small charge would be acceptable but that’s ridiculous.

Clean and comfortable

Room and everything in it was clean. There was a smell of stale smoke in the room when we arrived. We mentioned it at reception on our way out and receptionist said she'd get some airfreshioner. Smell wasn't so noticeable when we came back in later. Bed was comfortable

Good hotel,just very disappointed in terms of having to pay an additional £15 to use the gym facilities as when I booked it I always use the gym included filter for my bookings,not sure who’s at fault here the hotel or hotels.com,the hotel told me it was because I didn’t book directly with them ☹️☹️☹️

A very comfortable, clean, and quiet room.Staff brilliant. Plenty of car parking. Our only suggestion would be to review the breakfast arrangements - for example - a buffet breakfast in the hotel rather than the current system at the adjacent spa.
