Stressful for me with tired and hungry athletes.
Pros:

Good location for athletes of National Regata.

Cons:

You forgot to prepare single bed for my kid. I had to complain about that to staff member in Restaurant. We have beet tired after long journey. The bed was made during our prebooked dinner in Gamston Lock restaurant. Booking was for 8.00 pm. Waiting time for a meal was more then 60min.

Mediocre
Pros:

Check in was very easy. Room was easy to find. Bed was big.

Cons:

Firstly I noticed the hot drink station was lacking. Mugs and glasses were a decent size but it contained TWO tea bags, TWO sugar packets, TWO sweeteners, four coffee bags but TEN milk packets. We couldn't easily request more either because we would've needed to go into the pub.

In room 212, there wasn't a toilet roll holder but the marks still on the wall, we had 1 and 1/2 rolls of toilet paper. The sink was covered in dark fluff. One light in the bathroom didn't work. Bath was a bit grimy. In the main room, scuffs and marks up every wall. Loud vent unit outside window. Doors banging at 5am. Ceiling had dust and cobwebs on it.

We left at 10:15 and there was already the doors to rooms open with clean sheets laying on the carpet outside, leaves still on the carpet so it hadn't been hoovered yet.

I didn't expect much which is why it met my expectations.

we stay here because it is very close to family.
Pros:

Location very convenient. Ample parking . Option on daily cleaning and towels.

Cons:

We applaud the eco friendly approach but would like a separate bin for recycling - not leaving it on the floor!
