Arrival staff very efficient and friendly. Breakfast staff also very friendly and helpful.
Room was clean when we arrived, but as we stayed for 2 nights, there was no cleaning. On the first morning. Only milk replaced. Cups not washed, and tea bags not replenished.

Pros:

Booked a king room but noticed on arrival that the duvet was only a double in a king cover, mentioned to reception and told one would be sorted as they do have them, when it arrived it was just the same so ended up having to use 2 duvets to cover the bed…did tell reception again but no change. Breakfast good variety and catered for lactose free which was good, just a shame about the bedding outcome.

Complaint
Pros:

We will be looking to raise a complaint about the hotel stay. The room on arrival smelt so badly of stale smoke. It was too late for us to speak to reception and change rooms as we have children who weee tired and wanted to sleep.

There were cigarette butts in the window frame and ash all along the window as well.

Will be looking for a refund for this stay as our clothes for our holiday then all smelt
And we have no way of washing them
