The room was nice, but there was a moist smell that did not go away even after ventilation was turned on. There was 2 big patches/stains on the carpet that seemed like quite old stains, giving the carpet unclean feeling.

There has been a lot of snow recently and I am very surprised that there has been no effort to clear the snow/ice infront of the hotel. I did approach the hotel staff who informed me it was the responsibility of the council. However, if elderly and physically impaired users are entering the hotel it is extremely unsafe. The ice should be cleared to ensure people can enter and leave the hotel safely. I have been staying in the hotel for years and this is the only time I have left this disappointed.

Room was clean and were allowed access to the room earlier than check in time which was greatly appreciated, especially when travelling with a child. Staff were very welcoming. Went for an evening meal, service was average, ordered a drink that never came, asked for the child’s meal to come out with the adults main, didn’t happen. Staff at the bar were lovely. Breakfast was great, staff though sparse were lovely.

Room was cold even with the thermostat turned to highest temperature. Bath water also not hot enough. Shower was good. We booked a king suite and there were multiple stains on the carpet in the lounge area. Expected a much better standard from Hilton.

This is my first time staying at any of the Hilton group hotels. The lobby looks just like the pictures and looks good. Sadly everything else went down hill from here. we went into our first room and it stank of cigarette smoke.I explained to the desk staff that the room stank of smoke and they gave us another room. The 2nd room smelled fresh, but there were huge stains on the carpet i would never have taken my shoes off. I went to reception and asked for the manager, the young lad at the desk informed me he was the assistant manager and he accompanied me to the rooms. He apologised and we were moved into a third room. He later came back with a token towards a meal at the hotel. The restaurant food was good, but the seating areas were thread bare with big tears. Staff in the hotel are 100% genuine and helpful. Question would i stay here or in any other Hilton group hotels "NO", if this is anything to go by on the standard of hotels i will avoid them totally even if they were half the price (not even cheap) Very disapointing stay
