Terrible bed/pillows. Receptionist could have been more welcoming. Room was clean.
Pros:

Nice. It was a very hot day so the air con was lovely in the room and the corridors. The bar/dining area was a good size.

Cons:

The bed was terrible. Room 225. It sloped into the middle and that was not good for me, especially with a bad back. And the pillows were extremely lumpy.
The receptionist said hello, I gave my name, she handed me a form to fill out (the proceeded to hold a conversation with another member of staff that could have waited until she had checked us in). No other conversation or pleasantries. Shame we didn’t feel welcomed.

Overall, this hotel is good.
Pros:

Bed and free parking are good for me. I didn't try their breakfast this time but will try next time.

Cons:

The exhaust fan for bathroom was not functioning because it's very wet and humid after bathing. I informed the counter for this issue but no luck for fixing.

The stay was good for what I needed and I would happily come again.
Pros:

Breakfast was fine but there were quite a few empty dishes where food had not been replenished. Also, I would have liked to have porridge and there was none on show. If I was supposed to ask, I was not aware of it.

Cons:

I had a baked potato for supper. It and the tuna which came with it were fine but the salad leaves were a bit "gritty". I could think of no reason for this other than the leaves had not been washed thoroughly.

Pros:

Fantastic stay from start to finish. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well looked after, but the real highlight was the staff. Very friendly, welcoming, and kind. Their excellent customer service made the experience even better. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

If you are in or around Norwich, I’ll highly recommend

A very good experience, would be happy to recommend. Good value for money.
Pros:

Staff were friendly and accommodating. Bed adequate, room comfortable.

Cons:

I wasnt able to sample the full breakfast (as I had to leave early) what I had was fine though, and that was down to me, not the venue.
