Checked another guest into my room and they walked in with the key. Disgraceful and unsafe
Pros:

Easy to fine, relatively clean

Cons:

Rust on the shower rail and on the gym machines, staff were not very helpful.
Most concerning was that after I checked in they checked another guest in and gave them a key to my room and they walked in as I stepped out of the shower. Although it was a nasty surprise for both of us this is completely unacceptable especially had the man walked in on a woman or I had been out of my room with valuables I. There.

Pros:

The foyer was recently refurbished and was clean and bright. Bar staff were really nice

Cons:

Check out process was poor. Gentlemen who checked our two rooms out wasn't interested interested in taking our key cards. Barely said two words to us. Bathroom needs overhauled. I stayed two separate occasions within a week and in two different rooms. Rug in one of the rooms had several questionable brown stains on it. Bath tub was stained too. Bedding was clean and room clearly been recently refurbished other than the bathrooms or windows.

Disgusting and a health trap / avoid !!!
Pros:

Awful ! Only good thing is location - gone down hill fast - filthy and stinks !

Cons:

Room stunk of weed
Floor was disgusting - shoes stuck to it - no way could you take shoes off
Window didn’t close properly so wind noise all night - ended up opening it - at least helped with the foul smell
Door had obviously been broken and unable to dead lock door !
Bath filthy
Kettle had a dark sticky surface on the bottom !
Place is a health trap and definitely not worth 98£

Some way off 4star
Pros:

The common areas are attractively decorated and the glossy tiling, chandeliers and bright lighting is pleasing. The dining room is spacious and has a lovely garden view.

Cons:

The room was very much 'tired'. The windows are aluminium framed and single glazed, allowing a draught and noise to permeate. The bath is an original, as old as the building. It contains a shower with old controls with a flimsy shower curtain that's difficult to contain the water within when showering. The dining room has a problem with flies that could be easily cured with fly spray. The breakfast was reasonable but cofffee and tea is self served from an urn, so no choice of cappuccino, latte etc as in most establishments of this standing. The domestic staff aren't on the ball enough to clear away bottles and glasses that guests have left in the corridor (by the lifts) and they sat for two days of my stay, along with a piece of broken glass that was only dealt with on my request. The bar closes sharp at 2300 . I make these points as pointers for improvement and information for anyone potentially booking to be aware of.
