Great staff and very clean room

Hotel was nice and clean but a little run down in some of the communal areas. Staff were lovely and helped us with any queeries we have. Room was nice and bed massive, although its 2 singles pushed together. Room was spotlessly clean. The big downside was how hot it was in the room and through the night. There was a fan provided and this did help a little, but the room could do with aircon. Also all the room doors could do with closers added to them as they are heavy and slam shut very loudly. This woke us up several times. Overall though, for the price we paid the hotel was acceptable and I would stay again. Shout out to the friendly reception staff. It makes all the difference.

Don’t waste your money!!

Avoid - Avoid - Avoid!! Disgusting customer service - Have no understanding of policy and claim different to what is stated on website , terms and conditions ect. Wouldn’t allow 18,17 year old to check in.. However following a request for a manager suddenly their decision changed and allowed this. Room was hot in addition to a non working bulb in the bathroom and sticky handprints. Avoid..

Spacious but so warm in the room

Location was very convenient to Ponds Forge. We had a superior king and the room was really spacious and clean. Bed was comfortable and the breakfast was average. Only downside was the heat in the room and floor in general (9th). Without the fun there is no way we could’ve slept in that room.

Bottle of l**e found between beds. Grim.

My young child found a bottle of l**e in between the twin beds in our room on our second morning. Extra concerning being on the second morning as either the cleaning standard is so terribly low that this was missed not only when changing the room over from the previous guest but also on the previous day of our stay, or that someone in the hotel was using this room for dubious purposes during our stay. Otherwise hotel was very average, worn but adequate. Staff were all helpful.
