Room for improvement
Pros:

Staff very helpful and friendly

Location good

Cons:

Car parking if booking through an online site is an extra charge
Lots of potential but lots of work needs to be done to bring this hotel to the standard they are charging per night.
Had to request a change of room as first room had no accessible sockets and mattress springs could be felt when i sat on the bed,
Receptionist very helpful in finding an alternative room, which was a vast improvement on the first.
Restaurant - Waited an hour for service and food to arrive. - Food was good when it did
Will try again in 6-12 months when current issues are hopefully resolved.

I understand that the hotel is under new management, so the items listed are points to be looked at
Pros:

Room was clean & bed comfortable
It was possible to open the secured window a bit

Cons:

I was unhappy about having to pay £8 for parking which was not advised in the confirmation, also Location was out of the town
There wasn't a glass in the room
We had to wait for a long time for our main meals to be served after one couple in our group had a starter
No fried egg available at breakfast, although when asked they were supplied but too late as I had eaten my breakfast

Nice location - nice hotel but the management need to take a good look at themselves...
Pros:

Easy to find and parking was a plenty - the two ladies on reception were very pleasant, smiley and friendly and extremely helpful - arrived slightly earlier than expected and was noted that my room wasn't ready and was given a complimentary drink on the establishment for the delay.
When my room was ready, Olivia, who was one of those from reception brought my key to me and then went above and beyond by taking me personally to it - it is those little extra tweaks that other hotels lack.
Room was spacious and comfortable. The hotel has a restaurant - The Pearl - that has a normal pub grub type menu and a Sir Lankan one - I went for the latter and was very tasty though the potions to some might look a bit small.

Cons:

Firstly, the sting of being charged £8.00 to park your car which it did not mention in booking.
Secondly, what lets this hotel down is the lack of communication between management, staff and guests. Went down for my evening meal and the food looked fantastic but it seemed to be brought out in no order - some guests had had their starters but waited ages for their mains - others had some food delivered but only half the tables order arrived - floor staff walked about dropping plates at tables but not clearing and seemed to have given up - then announce that there was only one chef on - poor management knowing that a large trade show was on in the area and the hotel had extra guests. My food - starters and mains came out altogether which I was happy just to eat but others who had ordered way before me were still waiting. Bar also had a lot of beers run out as well - one table ordered a bottle of wine which was taken from a fridge but it was warm.
Breakfast was a buffet affair but most guests seemed not happy with it - it was pleasant enough though did notice where I sat there was still some dried rice from the night before.

Disappointing
Pros:

The shower and room size was good

Cons:

Room cleanliness was not good with previous guest's hair in the shower and the sides were not recently cleaned.
The carpets on the stairs were filthy.
Main meal first night was cold and had to be sent back.
Main meal second night (burger and chips) took over an 1 hour 25 minutes to arrive. Other guests even longer!
Breakfast on both days was cold at 07.05. Breakfast started at 7am.

Excellent hotel, ideal for airport. Fantastic breakfast, lovely friendly staff. Parking is expensive.
Pros:

Lovely rooms, excellent staff, very comfortable beds and breakfast was exceptional. Close to airport

Cons:

Shouldn’t have to pay extra to park. Already paying to stay there. Felt ripped off.

Pros:

The place was great but the food service was absolutely terrible. Left waiting for so long after ordering and everyone was complaining. Not just one night either it was 2 as they can't handle volume! Also rooms not changed between nights!

Very disappointing
Pros:

View was pretty

Cons:

Food was more than 1 and a half hours late and poorly cooked. My room was above reception and music played loudly day and night. Shower screen had big gap at bottom which meant water all over the floor making it dangerously slippery. Overall, everything is tatty and poorly maintained.

Pros:

I liked the cleanless and shower.

Cons:

Very disappointing stay, especially considering the price we paid. The information on Booking.com was misleading: parking charged £6, and the pet fee was stated as £15 per pet, yet we were charged £25 per dog (£50 in total, almost equivalent of the room price). Staff were rude when we questioned the charges. Our Genius benefit included free late check-out, but we were asked to pay another £25.

The “king-size” bed was actually two single beds pushed together. The hotel is next to busy road, so it was pretty loud. Breakfast was very poor, with a solid poached egg, bacon cooked on what appeared to be a dirty grill, and very limited choice.

Overall, poor value for money, unexpected charges and disappointing service. We would not stay here again.
