The hotel needs some work. There was barely any hot water in the room. The water was just warm enough to take a shower but barely.. you have to pay an extra fee to use the pool and the hot tub and the hot tub was only about 30°. The rooms were uncomfortable, very dated. Not dated in a charming way but more dated in a needs an upgrade.

Adequate

The hotel was a bit tired. Service was adequate. The room was adequate, but very noisy and the bed was uncomfortable. The room decor was tired and a bit shabby and the facilities were not great - my room had no hairdryer. Overall, would not recommend for the price (which didn't include breakfast, either).

Hotel is huge & like a rabbit warren. It was not explained properly where our room was therefore we walked round in circles for ages with other guests too!! Room was tiny & very dated. We paid a good price for the room but equal price to a premier inn and the rooms there are far superior. Walls were grubby and needed painting. Floor boards ridiculously creaky. Bathroom tired. Furniture tatty. Some communal areas had clearly had work done and were nice. I assume some rooms are also newer. Ours was disgustingly. We would have complained if we’d been staying more than 1 night. Wouldn’t stay at this hotel again.

The hotel exudes an atmosphere of faded grandeur. Accessibly is a major issue in virtually every part of the hotel. Especially the front entrance where the presence of the temporary ramps on a very regular basis creates a serious trip hazard. The staff find it demanding to deal with guests who rely on mobility scooters. Maintenance is an issue regarding decoration and squeaky floors. Cleaning is not always done behind furniture. The food was very good and plentiful and the restaurant staff were wonderful . Reception staff were always welcoming and helpful. The building requires major renovations but this would be a very large and expensive undertaking. Location was good for the BIC .
