We didn’t have breakfast here so I can’t comment on that. I chose this hotel as a treat rather than a budget hotel option for myself and my fiancé for a night away. I was disappointed with the room- it was very tired looking and dated. Stains/marks on the carpet and curtains and the room itself just wasn’t particularly modern looking. I slept badly as the air conditioning didn’t seem to work properly and the pillows were awful with no extras available. I wished we’d chosen a budget option instead. The only things that were good were the actual lobby area looks lovely and the staff within it were polite and helpful. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else to stay here

room service didn’t answer the phone - tried several times. had to go down to order a sandwich. Bar doesn’t sell crisps or nuts Christmas dinner was absolutely disgusting. Roast potatoes were anaemic- i think they’d been roasted for two minutes max. sprouts like bullets. pigs in blankets looked like they’d been boiled. horrendous

Superior room was a basic bedroom. Clean and adequate but expected more. No fridge or minibar, poor signal on tv (picture and sound kept breaking up) and the safe at floor level is not easy to access when you’re in your mid seventies. Ordered room service meal - after an hour phoned reception to be told that order had not been passed on to kitchen. Overall, disappointed with the hotel - expected better when paying over £200 per night.
