Not the standard you pay for
Pros:

Booked the usual superior King Size room I usually book once a month for work, checking in, room has been taken, was given a standard double room, if I wanted a view of a roof 5 yards from my window I would of booked that, gutter broken leading to constant dripping all night, noice from people working past, that’s why I book the superior king size, one of three rooms that your not disturbed, I have paid for the superior room & didn’t get that, but was told the duty manager would be phoning me later that day after check out, still waiting, checked out 10 days ago! Don’t stop in room 363 if raining outside.

If it hadn’t been for the friendly staff I would be asking for a refund
Cons:

We were very disappointed with our stay :- our bedrooms were to hot and the radiators wouldn’t turn down so we had to use fans in one room three fans
The plugs didn’t fit in the holes so couldn’t have baths there was only two plug sockets in each room
One bath had to be cleaned out as there was pubic hair in it
The door keys on one room kept running which was a problem having to go back to reception
And we were going to be charged five pounds a head for swimming with 12 in our family it would have worked out very expensive after a little moan it was agreed to not pay as I had paid in full before the hotel had changed hands
I have stayed there twice before and I was very disappointed with the extreme difference.

Average.
Pros:

The room was too hot. It would have been good to have a fan in the room. It was difficult to regulate the water temperature when showering.
It is a good location and great gardens etc. I loved the stained glass window.
The staff did their best under difficult circumstances.
Overall I probably would plump for a Premier Inn if I was to stay in Burnley again.

Cons:

Room was too hot.

Very quiet and comfortable night.
Pros:

Great value for money, professional and friendly staff.
The bed was very comfortable. As it was a hot evening I had to use the fan which was lucky there was one provided otherwise it would have been an uncomfortable night.

Cons:

The shower curtain wasn’t the cleanest but that’s nit picking and by no means a deal breaker. The plug sockets were the other side of the room but again it’s nit picking would have been more convenient for the sockets to be next to the bed.

Really poor. Food terrible no hot water and facilities were extremely basic (I expected this though)
Pros:

The staff were friendly

Cons:

The place was very run down which I expected. What I did not expect was how poor the service was in the restaurant and how poor the quality of the food was. It took nearly 1 hour just to receive our drinks at dinner. Breakfast was nearly inedible. We had no hot water in the morning and so had to have cold showers.

Avoid
Pros:

The mattress was comfy

Cons:

The building is lovely from the outside but when you get to the rooms a totally different story,it needs a total revamp in decorating dirty carpets ,dust,window latches that don't work light bulbs that don't work,holes in hallway carpet cracked tiles in bathroom,we would not stay here again we checked out after our first night and that's only because we got there quite late otherwise we would not have stayed there,very disappointing and can't believe we paid what we did to stay there so overpriced.
