Definitely worth it and I would return.
Pros:

We appreciate the automatic lighting in the hallways and how quiet the place seemed to be.
The room and bathroom was clean and well presented. T tiled bathroom floor was especially appreciated in the mad heat outside.
The breakfast was generous in spread and the room was light and airy.
The staff at breakfast and the staff on the welcome desk were polite.

Cons:

Not all the lights over the beds worked but we were there staying only once night and it was really late by the time we arrived.

My sister is partial sighted and she couldn't see the second towel (it was a twin room) so we asked for another on the way up from breakfast and we were told there should be one in the cupboard.

We walked back to room, passing staff cleaning the rooms. My sister immediately looked in the cupboard for the missing towel and on finding it there, she telephoned down to reception to say thanks but we don't need one.

Five minutes later, someone knocked on the door and I answered it to a particularly angry woman with a towel, who proceeded to thrust it at me, ranting with something like 'Why didn't you just take from the trolleys in the hall? I had to run all the way from the front!' (note- we were went DOWN the steps to room 101, it wasn't hardly far.) Not very hospitable at all!

It would have been helpful if it was pointed out on our arrival that the WIFi code was written in the pouch holding the key cards too...

Pros:

Beds were surprisingly comfy, nice upstairs and when you walk into the lobby, but then you proceed down into your hotel rooms and it’s very dingy.

Cons:

Paying for parking. Turning up and finding out it’s £8 to pay for parking on top of staying there surprised me massively, usually a hotels parking is free..

Horrible.
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

No water in the rooms to make a coffee, towels really old, personnel not helpful at all, 6 o’clock in the morning the personnel with no manners calling you “mate” there is nobody to make you coffee. Air conditioning in the room did not work having central air conditioning to make the room absolutely cold.

Pleasant
Pros:

Staff were (with the exception of the man on the Spa desk on the Sunday morning) super friendly and helpful. Literally everyone was charming, smiley and hospitable.
We also enjoyed our dinner - even though the air con was arctic - which we ate in the bar area as the whole restaurant had been booked out for a coach party and a (very loud) party was going on in a function room.
Fortunately we could not hear any of it from our lower ground floor room.

Cons:

The exterior is VERY tired which was a worry when we arrived. Reception has been smartened up which made us feel much better, but our room was tired and a bit shabby. Carpet very worn in places and the bathroom chipped and in need of modernisation. It's a shame but for one night not the end of the world.
The beds iin our double 'suite' with sofa bed were very comfortable and our group of three adults slept fine. The sofa bed would not have been great for taller people or for more than one.
The spa is also very shabby and tired. Treatment prices were pretty high - prohibitively so - and if I'd booked in looking for a spa experience around the pool I might have been disappointed. We had booked knowing there was a pool to chill out in after a long sponsored walk on the North Downs so it was a shame it was a bit meh.
