I honestly can’t think of anything negative to say about our stay. We enjoyed every aspect of The Emporium and will definitely be staying again in the very near future. A shout to all the staff… all were brilliant to deal with :-)

Lovely hotel room and comfy bed. Restaurant was dated and looks very tired. Bar closes early on a Friday which was a shame after seeing a show. The service was basic too

Some areas in the room needed cleaning. Dust on bedside table, clock radio and lamp. The surface surrounding basin in the bar area had a lot of marks from glasses. The glass and tiles in bathroom needed cleaning. There was a lot of noise from the room next door. Their door was constantly banging and at 2 am on it disrupts your sleep. Some areas of the room are well worn.
