I stay here frequently and always something wrong with the room, this time the air conditioning didn’t work and they gave me a fan - it was really hot. Last time I had a room with a broken blind, they had given me that room the week before so I asked to change second time around

Pleasant stay but could do better

Pleasant stay for one night. The staff are friendly and helpful although some staff at breakfast could do with a little more training as finding corn flakes seemed a challenge and we were told there were none but another member of staff found them without too much trouble. The classic room was all we needed for a single night but we did have to remake the bed before getting in it because it looked like the bed linen had been thrown on as it was all disheveled and crumpled. I would guess this is a result of time pressure on housekeeping staff but not what we would expect to have to do. Food in the restaurant was very good and reasonably priced. Would stay again if in Winchester.
