Very poor

Bed broken, Air Conditioning broken, staff were rude when I asked for Ice to cool down in the middle of a heat wave. I have stayed here numerous times, it used to be fantastic but each time I stay it gets progressively worse but the prices increases. Even the breakfast that used to be fantastic is now poor. Moving forward I will be looking for a new hotel to with on my numerous visits. Very unhappy!

Warm welcome by Ellie on reception others on reception should remember they are the face of the company. Accessible room well equipped and comfortable. Good breakfast selection and helpful staff and tables cleared efficiently. Stayed 3 nights, room cleaned well but perhaps housekeeping could prioritise guests staying more than one night, (returned 3pm and still not done).
