We arrived around 10.30pm on a Saturday evening. The hotel receptionist was pleasant in assigning our room but then things deteriorated. We were told that we could walk up the stairs to the first floor, or take the lift by going through the bar.
Given we had heavy ski gear, the lift was our best option but it was a surreal experience to drag bags through a bar with pretty loud music playing and people who'd clearly been there a while. If anything, it looked like the aftermath of a works Christmas party or wedding reception.
The room was pleasant although a little cramped- no real complaints as we knew what we had booked.
The problem however was the noise from the downstairs dance area and (I assume) DJ. The reverberating and penetrating bass meant it took quite a while to sleep, despite a long day of travel back to the UK.
In the morning at checkout, the receptionist was busy apologising to another two guests about the lack of wheelchair access for their room, but despite empathising, had no power to do much. We simply checked out, as any comment from us would have been a waste of time.
So, in summary, the Glynhill Hotel really needs a revamp and refurb, but more than that it needs a strategic rethink: are you a club and weekend boozing venue, or a hotel?
