Faulty Towers 2.0

Not as described. Various issues with cleanliness and bed bugs. Images of hotel are from 40 years ago plus. And no renovation since. Hotel is tired and not cared for.

Cons:

All of it - would not stay again.

A good place to rest.
Pros:

Very quiet in lively surroundings.

Cons:

Couldn’t get into my room on two successive nights. Kept having to go back down to reception and clearly wasn’t popular.
Tea/coffee/milk needs to be replaced daily even if room isn’t cleaned.

Other than the needle it was a very pleasant place to stay and would return.
Cons:

I found a hypodermic needle in the car park on Monday evening , which I told the reception staff about straight away !! I went back to check that it had been removed on the Tuesday morning and it hadn’t ! I went back to the reception desk to ask why ? They told me a manager had to pick it up for health and safety reasons ! I’m sorry but for health and safety reasons it should have been put safe on Monday evening !!

Good location, poor experience.
Pros:

The bedroom was clean and the bed comfortable.

Cons:

NOt good at all for someone with mobility issues. The hotel is shabby in the extreme , some carpets absolutely filthy.
Suxh a shame as the building is beautiful, grounds lovely and it could be such an asset.

Good with reservations, not sure we would want to stay there again. Very good price though.
Pros:

Lovely old building and grounds. Good breakfast.

Cons:

The hotel was a bit tired in places and could do with an update/decoration.
The bed was quite small for a double and we thought we had booked 2 singles.
The milk at breakfast had gone off so was either out of date or had not been stored properly so this was a big no no. It was replaced by fresher milk though.
My husband had told them in advance that he would be using a mobility scooter however the disabled entrance was locked and took quite a time to get him into the hotel.

Room was better than expected. Great value for money, loads of parking and hassle free check in / check out
Pros:

Building was impressive and our room was lovely

Cons:

Huge hotel and it’s a bit run down, but still impressive. Quite a long walk to our room in the more modern wing and the corridors were very dated especially the carpet
