Worst hotel ever
Pros:

The worst experience we have ever had. There was no air conditioning in the room, and we were not informed about this before our stay. The room was unbearably hot, like a sauna, and the two fans we were provided with made absolutely no difference. The heat became too much for us to tolerate, and we were forced to leave in the middle of the night. A very disappointing experience.

Pros:

The kindness of staff, especially Lakshman, who was working at the front desk on the day of our stay. Our room didn’t have air conditioning and it wasn’t pleasant,although a small fan was provided, it was still hot. He was was trying to upgrade our room but couldn’t because they were fully booked. To compensate, he gave us complimentary parking and breakfast which we didn’t ask but gladly offered. The staff’s kindness to all their guests is what I’ve noticed and appreciated.

Perfect
Pros:

The polite and helpful staff make this hotel a huge success. 2 day stay booked same day and on check-in (during a heatwave) reception staff informed us that the room had no Air Conditioning. They explained they had supplied fans and also added free breakfasts for us. We had a fault with our bathroom sink tap (no cold water) which we reported. A staff member attended immediately and had the handyman there within 15 mins. Unfortunately they were unable to resolve this issue before we left but jugs of drinking water were supplied for our kettle which we kept in the room fridge. Although the first night was warm, the fans did the trick and upon return the following night from a concert, the air conditioning was working and we returned to a beautifully cooled room. The room & bathroom was beautifully clean and comfortable.
We loved the aerial picture & history of the building, aviation pictures & artifacts across al floors. Delightful gardens that staff let us access when conference room not in use. Highly recommend and would definitely return again, if visiting the area again.

Cons:

Nothing

Nightmares at the aerodrome
Pros:

Absolutely awful. The hotel has new management. We had a single room with a double bed. A shower that only pumped out scalding hot chemical smelling water. With a weird system for cold water. A towel rail radiator that was on constantly although it was 30deg . A television that had no multichannel and radio access. Only channel 4. When we asked for a room change the answer was an oleagenous "sorry all the rooms are full, no other rooms available" and we had to pay for breakfast. AVOID.

Great
Pros:

Lovely breakfast and good value seeing as it is unlimited. Fan was amazing given we were staying during hottest day of the year, didnt feel the heat at all. Massive TV and lots of mirrors for makeup and also full length. Very clean hotel, spotless really. Loved the armchair which was comfy and a desk too which was massive.

Cons:

Fridge could have been a little colder. Plugs had on/off switches which is unusual in a hotel so had to remember to switch device on before charging.
