A few hiccups but still ok!

The air conditioning is broken in this hotel at present. I managed fine with a fan in the room, but it wasn’t ideal. The shower drain was blocked meaning the shower nearly overflowed while I was in there! However the room was comfortable, the staff were lovely and the breakfast was fantastic.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff were friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Beds were not configured for our requirements so they had to move us. No parking at hotel which wasn’t made clear until after payment. Had to pay and pre book a slot at the local supermarket which is only a 6-7 minute walk away but not ideal with young children, lots of bags and late arrival.

OK but no air conditioning

Please be aware that the AIR CONDITIONING DOES NOT WORK - and apparently it hasn't worked for 3 years so don't expect it to be fixed any time soon. You will receive an email advising of this before arriving but that is of no use if on a non-refundable booking. The room will have a fan but if it is hot this is similar to the concept of a fan-assisted oven. Rooms at the back of the hotel are also noisy. Other than that, the hotel is well-located and staff very efficient and friendly.

Awful experience wouldn’t recommend for families

Very poor experience rooms were very hot with no Aircon working which they had signs up as soon as we got into main reception telling us they was broken. Also the car park facilities is absolutely shocking. Nowhere to park and strange individuals lurking around at night
