Would definitely visit again! We had a free room upgrade and it was a significant improvement on the room we had anticipated - thank you very much! The room looked a little tired and so were some of the corridor/stair areas too. Our wasn't perfectly clean - the windows, mirrors and a large crisp was fairly obvious but overall, it was good. The sound deadening was notably good even with a wedding party in progress. We had a meal in the Sandeman restaurant with our daughter and friend. We all enjoyed our meal, excellent service too. The leisure facility as previously, was excellent. Really enjoyed it. Again as previously, the staff were excellent, warm, welcoming and helpful. Mr Srees served us twice on reception, top marks!! Ok, needs some maintenance and a little extra attention to cleaning but overall, a lovely hotel. The entrance and reception area is particularly enchanting. Hope to visit again in the coming year.

A lovely hotel with great facilities and excellent location next to the University and stones throw from the City of Lancaster. What stood out for us was the staff.

Lovely hotel. We had a room upgrade as it was a birthday which was great. Customer service when we arrived on reception was not great. There was no enthusiasm to see us or smiles from the man. I think he was new as unsure in himself. But even so he could be more welcoming
