A bit of a disaster really.
Pros:

Close to the airport

Cons:

Air conditioning was not working in any guest accommodation. Small desk top fans were provided but had little effect with regards to cooling the room in what was very hot weather. Very uncomfortable sleepless nights. The bar was only manned by one person, who also had to deliver meals to guests which led to delays in being served, sometimes lengthy delays. Reception staff seemed overworked and extremely under pressure which lead to us being allocated a room which was already occupied. Guests were arriving at the hotel with a third party booking which was not on the hotels system and there were no available rooms for them as the hotel was fully booked. Also, even though the hotel was fully booked, guests were still being allowed to reserve accommodation online, even though there were no rooms available. A poor experience and we will not be staying at this hotel again.

Very disappointing
Pros:

The location

Cons:

The Hotel air conditioning was not working (this has been a problem for sometime and is apparently likely to remain out of action for a while). Although warned a week in advance it was too late to cancel and find an alternative). We were offered a fan but others not so lucky.

The breakfast was poor (7.30 am) with rubbery mushrooms and inedible black pudding. The tables had not been cleared and freshened up so it was hard to find somewhere to sit, It was as if there were too few staff or perhaps those working were not paying attention.

At 7.0 am there was nio hot water in any of the taps including shower.

Only one stressed chap on reception at peak arrival time the day before

The room safe did not work

For just under £400 for 2 nghts this hotel could not be described as value for money. Were it not for the location buyers beware.. I woukd not recommend this hotel until Kew Green Hotels/Crowne Plaza/IHG sort the air con out and perhaps employ more staff.

ps. This my 1 st ever adverse review!

Nice stay
Pros:

Pleasant staff, clean rooms & powerful shower.

Cons:

Broken air conditioning, during 29-degree temperatures, but staff ensured we did have a fan in room which helped.

No staff to greet us at breakfast to take our voucher. It appears they were understaffed that day. No brown bread. Broken coffee machine.

Pros:

Staff were friendly and the hotel was clean

Cons:

I booked this hotel as I knew the weather was going to be hot and this hotel was advertised as having air conditioning, which it did - however, all the rooms air con was broken and did not work. My room was like it was on fire - it was that hot a chocolate bar melted within 15-20mins of being in there. The windows opened a little, but due to the style of the window, it did not let much air in. In order to try and make it bearable, I left the curtains and windows open all night, However, as it near the airport i was woken by the first plan around 5am ish. The Hotel did you you free parking which was £6 and 2 drinks vouchers - i needed about 10 to be able to try and get to sleep whilst what felt like sleeping on the sun

4 Star. NEVER !!!
Pros:

Nothing about this hotel apart from the staff was positive.

Cons:

No air con in middle of heatwave. Shoddy breakfast.
Only half of the food available on evening menu after paying for half board. Two nights running fire alarm went off and caused evacuation. Other guests say all the faults were the same last year and have not been rectified. Staff having to fend off complaints from lots of people so their working environment is less than good. Never staying here again. Stay AWAY !!!!
