Although the rooms are slightly dated, I would still rate my overall experience very highly because the customer service truly stood out. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive. They went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable and had everything I needed throughout my stay. While the décor and furnishings could benefit from a refresh, the rooms were clean and well-maintained, which made for a comfortable visit. What really makes this hotel special is the team — their friendliness, professionalism, and willingness to help easily deserve a 5-star rating.

The rooms were tiny and the decor was a bit shabby. If you first come into the hotel and see the lobby its fabulous very grand and then the staff are very helpful, we got a upgrade from a standard double room to a family room it was tiny bathroom was nice, There was only one double socket in the room my partner has sleep apnoea so uses a breathing machine the single bed was closest to the socket then a double bed. You couldn't walk straight in the room you had to turn sideways to get anywhere room with a single bed and a double

Checking in was a nightmare - no sign postage to say one of the queues was for coach check ins only, 45 minutes we were waiting. We were then given what they described as a premier room, only to find stains on the mattress, dried blood on the sheets and other stains on the mattress protector, there was also marks on the radiator and what looked like vomit on the lamp base, mould on the windows, mould round the shower and the room smelt awful. We went and complained and they "upgraded" us to a room on the floor above, however the experience wasnt much better, we found hair in the bath tub, damp on the cieling and mould again on the window. The entire hotel smelt awful, dust was on every surface in bith rooms. We wont be returning.

No where to park. Even multi storey car park full. Couldn’t unload properly, no spaces. No towels in the room. The room had receipts on the floor from two days ago, it hadn’t been cleaned very well. The toilets down stairs were awful, smelly n cold. The staff are very friendly. Entertainment was very good. Good location. Was ok for the price .

We paid for a premium room, the one we got was very dated, run down, and not cleaned to a good standard at all. (Hairs in and on the bed and in and on the bathtuv) An opened coffee pod left on the side with the unused ones and an out of date apple crumble in the fridge! The room was also freezing cold but this was resolved by turning the radiator valve to fully on. We were very frustrated, especially after the images show the premium rooms have been updated, when we questioned this, we were told rooms are all different and "quirky" and room allocation was first come first served even though, we did online check in days earlier. The door lock... Here's a fun one, the doors are using a really old latching lock which, due to how much the door could move when closed, could be opened using the do not disturb door handle cards from the outside. It was not possible to deadlock the door from the inside or double lock it when leaving. We paid extra for a new year's eve 3 course carvery meal and entertainment, we were served a very low quality buffet (slushy meatballs, chicken thighs, frozen battered fish slabs and a miserable salad bar) no drinks served with the meal. We decided, enough was enough due to multiple failings and false advertisements and demanded a full refund. We are still waiting for the refund but it's only been a day. I would not recommend this hotel. yes, it's a beautiful building but, it's clear that the management company are operating on a shoe string budget.
