Pros:

Room was not ready we went away came back in an hour and it was still not ready they wanted us to wait longer for the room. also the dinning area for breakfast does not look great. Very old fashioned rough around the edges and needs to be modernized. the breakfast buffet looked like something from the 70's

Pros:

Our hotel room was gorgeous, big comfy bed, lovely sofa in the room. Very spacious and clean. Shower was amazing. Staff were lovely. Left our do not disturb sign on door and the housekeeping still left us clean towels and toilet roll etc. car parking on first day was very busy, had to park on nearby street but was able to get one early the next day - most likely due to summer sessions on in town.
Staff were very helpful. Would definitely stay in this hotel again, great location!

Pros:

We enjoyed our 2 nights. The elevator situation added a bit of stress at times especially for elderly clientele. Unfortunately, the breakfast dining (vouchers, etc.) was not explained to us at check-in which created some uneasiness when we went to eat breakfast. Lastly, we sat late to dinner in the Warehouse restaurant area. It seemed the 3 ladies who took turns serving us were more eager to get out on time. We were told we needed to pay our bill after waiting quite some time for someone to even check on us. Lovely and comfortable rooms. The tub/shower were a little unsafe for older folks having to step up into the tub and not having any treads on the tub surface. Very slick. Thank you to housekeeping for checking on us. A nice surprise.

Nice hotel.
Pros:

Hotel itself had just been refurbished so everything was pretty new. One of our main problems was we didn’t have WiFi the 3 days we stayed. They had a sign stating they were having problems with it. This didn’t help my wife and I as we’re both self employed and rely heavily on WiFi when we’re away. The hotel itself didn’t have much of an atmosphere at nights even though they did have entertainment on the 3 nights we were there.

Pros:

Breakfast was poor. We were met by a teenager chewing gum. Food was slopped out by the chef. Ie not cooked to order and had to queue up to get food. Food quality was only OK. Awoken during the night (3 times) by drunk guests outside our door - hotel staff should have known this was going on and should have sorted it out.

Pros:

As a sales representative I travel the 32 counties ,value for money is important but the basices of Wifi and parking are also as important.
On arrival there were signes around the hotel offering apologies for the lack of wifi service. This was not mentioned during the booking and was not reflected in the room price.

I stayed 3 nights and the room was cleaned each day, to a good standard but did not have the shampoo bottle replaced.
