Great location. Parking £17 per night. Although the room was lovely it did have mould on the net curtains and main curtains. The shower leaked and bathroom fan was not working and again mouldy. We did not get our room service during our 2 night stay even though we requested. We had to find the maid to request clean cups tea milk and sugar. Not what i would expect for £100 per night

Check in was abysmal we arrived slightly before our 3pm check in and was advised with others in the queue the room wasn’t ready till 3pm so at 3pm the queue for everyone checking formed all the way round the side and up the stairs to the floor above. There were 3 check in staff but to my amazement this reduced to 2 as the third staff member shift had finished at 3pm so we all had the long wait to check in which was time consuming as the 2 remaining staff had numerous checks for do to check people in. The people near the end of the queue after us must have been ultra patient as they were still waiting at 3.45pm.

The check in was awful, I have never experienced such a bad check in. We queued for 40 minutes in a long line, there were 3 staff members but it was taking so long. When we eventually had our turn there was no apology for keeping us waiting. The hotel is very nice and it’s in great location. The check in experience just spoilt it for us.
