Very tired rooms I’m need of a refurb. Overpriced food. Additional costs for the Spa not communicated to us upon arrival. Felt the hotel was trying to maximise our spend for very average food, facilities and service. They can’t charge a premium rate for such tired rooms so therefore try to make us spend a lot on overpriced food and hidden spa access costs. Many of the showers were also not working in the spa. We won’t be back

Rooms are dated, stains on curtains, no fridge in the room, lightbulbs flickering, poor tv choices, carpet had warn holes. Restaurant was overpriced £20 for a cheeseburger. Menu was minimal and breakfast choices were limited. Spa was an extra charge of £10 per person. Happened to be in there during aqua aerobics where the speaker was dreadful and unpleasant to be in and the sauna was dirty.

Object to charge to use the pool

Nice hotel with friendly, helpful staff. The breakfast and food in the restaurant was good and the facilities are very nice. I don’t agree with the extra charge to use the swimming pool though and feel this should be included in the room rate.

Everything great, especially the restaurant food. Only issue was the breakfast coffee machines. As someone who likes coffee especially a cappuccino in the morning, the machines didn’t appear to be ‘bean to cup’ and the milk was not fresh. Sort out the coffee and my stay would have been excellent.
