Staff do not follow fire evacuation procedures, ne

Woke up as fire alarm went off, no members of staff checked if we got out safe or told us what was going on, no register check, have previously stayed there but would not again due to lack of procedures for evacuation and lack of staff training. Also lift didn't work, room in need of refurbishment, curtain rail just holding on, shower over flooding, nob off on radiator, ceiling paper loose and restaurant closed, no breakfast offered, very disappointed, not worth the money paid.

Never again!

Last time we stayed, we had a lovely room, comfortable stay and an amazing breakfast. This time the room was tired, in need of a fix up, the paint was flaky, ceiling paper was peeling, curtain rail was balanced so it tipped and nearly fell off when you touch the curtain, radiator nob was just balanced and took less than a minute for us to fix it back on, shower tray nearly overflowed, was blocked, toilet was constantly running, looked inside the cistern and took 2.sweet wraps out, then it worked fine. Lift was out of order and restaurant closed. Fire alarm went off after midnight and we evacuated, we found people standing on the hotel steps smoking, no member of staff, after a while people started to go back in so a member of staff must of told them it was safe but no one to k our room number or names to make sure we had got out the building safely. After that we had a really uncomfortable night, next morning the alarm went off again and the staff member that came outside thanked us for evacuating and commented that out of the whole hotel only the 4 of us had come out, asked us to wait until she gave us the all clear.,again no registered called. If it had of been a real fire the fire fighters wouldn't of known who was in or out of the building so overall we wouldn't stay again as staff are not trained to follow the fire evacuation process, so we don't feel safe staying there.

I guess this hotel is what the dwp use for the homeless and asylum seekers felt a bit unsafe as no lock on inside of bedroom door and child could have got out if we dint put a chair there was told there is security at front desk all night there is no one groups of people sitting outside entrances in early hours i guess they live there can be a bit intimidating especially for a woman proberly wont stay again

Horrible. It is a mouldy and stuffy room. Single room but looks like a cupboard. Windows facing the roof with lots of birds remains and other stuff. Horrible smell and bathroom incredibly dirty. Never again!

Carlton hotel, Great Yarmouth

The check in and welcome was the best we've ever experienced anywhere! It was such a massive surprise and so refreshing. We travelled with a dog and were instantly put at ease and made to feel welcome and like returning guests. We cannot praise this lovely lady enough! The hotel has fabulous character and it's of the era with tonnes of charm. If you want modern, soulless straight lines, go elsewhere. If you value history, character, charm and the warmth of an older property then this is certainly the place for you! The hotel is huge and as was our sea view room on the third floor. Yes, the room needed a few maintenance matters taking care of, but this is no way detracted from our stay. They've got their fire emergency procedures well planned and visible where it needs to be. Our only issue during the stay was someone being inconsiderate shouting on the corridor as they returned to their room. As a very fair priced hotel, I'd not hesitate to recommend and stay again!
