The Perfect Hotel.

The perfect hotel! Room 229, more like an apartment than hotel room. All spotless, and extremely helpful staff. Breakfast was usual buffet style woth plenty of other options if needed. Local for everything that was needed myself as well.

From my first interaction, I sensed that guests who are non-white or speak English with an accent may not receive the same warmth as others. While the front desk staff greeted the white guests ahead of me with friendly conversation, the male clerk (Gavin) became noticeably less cordial when it was my turn. He also failed to mention that housekeeping services must be specifically requested. Because of this omission, my room was not cleaned the next day — which I initially accepted without complaint. However, on the following morning when I requested housekeeping from a female clerk, she raised her voice and asked, “Did you book the housekeeping service?” When I explained that no one had informed me of such a policy, she offered a short, formal apology, yet her manner remained distant. The most unpleasant discovery came when I took a shower and noticed the water nearly overflowing. Upon checking the drain, I found it completely clogged with a large mass of hair from a previous guest (see attached photo). It was clear that the bathroom had not been properly cleaned before my arrival. To add to the discomfort, when I went down for breakfast one morning, I was told that “someone has already used your room number.” Although the staff eventually let me dine, the experience was awkward....

A nice quiet place to rest on our journey up north. The staff was helpful, the beds were comfy, and the room was unexpectedly large for England. Breakfast was delicious. Only bad part was that there were not enough usb charging ports by the bed, but it’s not a big deal. Probably our best stay on our England trip.

Disappointing experience

The main problem was the lift not working throughout our stay and we were on the 3rd floor. Also there were 2 coachloads of guests staying and the breakfast experience was very poor. On one day we had to queue, there was hardly any food and lots of uncleared tables. The room was clean and staff helpful but there were not enough to cope with the numbers. Our bathroom door was difficult to open from the inside which was a safety concern. We reported it as urgent but it was not fixed.

I don't think I like anything about this hotel. Didnt think I will write a bad review for a Marriott hotel. I had staged in different Marriott hotel around the world but this one is horrible. Mouldy stink in the bath area. The room is so small that if anyone who is claustrophobic should stay away. We had booked breakfast for one day, which is £15 per person. Coffee was horrible, baked beans, eggs and bacon were all out, no one cares to refill it until we asked. It was only before 9, we were not that late. If anyone do stay there, there are cafes near the hotel, only 3 mins walk, they sell full English breakfast around £10, or a bacon and egg bap at £6, very nice and fresh

Hotel need a complete revamp as the condition is worn out at best. The elevator was not working in the main wing so we were forced to walk up two floors, take the connection skyway to our block and then walk up or down the stairs in that block to reach our floor, which was very exhausting and tedious. When using the entrance across the street in the riverside block to save ourselves from climbing the stairs we were quite curtly told that the entrance is only for staff and that customers are required to undergo the ordeal on climbing multiple staircases to reach the other block.

OK'ish stay

The mattress was worn and has seen better days probably a few years ago already. The airconditioning vents were exceptionally dusty - a hayfever challenge as they are blowing at the entry door and above the bed itself. The breakfast was overpriced for the quality provided. Not real value for money when compared to equivalent hotels in Newcastle or York
