Fran

Liked: Staff & service
We booked two rooms - one of which hadn't been cleaned on arrival but staff were very helpful and quick to sort an alternative room. Rooms are run down unfortunately and could do with some TLC in places. But the rooms are a really good size so as a large family across two rooms we didn't feel cramped. Car park is chargeable which doesn't guarantee you a space in there. We wne to out to find the car park very full despite having already paid so just something to be mindful of. Booked through Expedia - and Brittannia sent an online check in through Expedia messages. It originally said it failed, so did it again and I've now been charged double for one of the rooms. So would recommend just checking in at the hotel and not use their online form!
