Awful would never stay again
Cons:

When we arrived at the property we could open our door, when we finally entered the room we the couldn’t lock the door so we’re moved to another room. The water was so hot we couldn’t even shower and there were no staff available to sort it out and I had a child of 10 and 14 years old. The tv didn’t work. I made a coffee which tasted awful, which was because the milk was out of date and dated February 2026 and we are in April. Also the hair dryer sounded liked it was about to blow up and also the socket was loose on the wall. Also the carpet had been patched up and my daughter tripped over nearly hitting her head on the bedside table

Disappointing
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

There’s no lift, the bar was closed, basic things were missing from the room. There’s only one hook in the bathroom for the towel. There’s nowhere to hang your clothes when you go for shower. There were no coat hangers in wardrobe either. There was only one towel provided per person and no bath mat. TV signal kept disappearing and the volume was poor. The beds were uncomfortable; my kids didn’t want to sleep in them. I’m glad we only booked the hotel for one night.
