Pros:

Bed was huge which was lush

Cons:

Not necessarily the hotels problem , but the weather was particularly bad which meant the car park spaces were partially flooded, I guess due to it being slanders just poor design originally, but an inconvenience when there are minimal spaces

Bad and poor customer service , poor breakfast and hair dryer was not working , poor communication and customer handling
Pros:

Mattress and toilet

Cons:

I had a very disappointing experience during my stay. The team leader on the night shift was extremely rude and arrogant. They asked for an additional £100 for an extra guest, were unhelpful, avoided eye contact, and even used inappropriate language. This level of service was completely unacceptable.
