Lovely hotel , wasnt so keen on the view.
The hotel was beautiful, decorated to match its lovely regal 1800's build and all of the furnishings were well cared for and clean. Upon arrival, parking was difficult due to spaces being so tightly packed in and the £10 per night to park there was a bit of a naughty, previously undisclosed addition to the price. Our room was lovely, well spaced out, clean and jad everything it needed, but the view was awful. Granted we had one of the cheaper standard rooms, but I thought £200 for 2 nights would have got us a bit of a better view than the side of a roof, so be careful if you are in an odd numbered level 1 room, it will not be a sea view or picturesque courtyard. (Cant upload picture as website isnt letting me upload) Breakfast was nice enough for the price of £12 with plenty of choice. My only other quibble was the misleading information about NHS discount. They bragged a 20% discount on the healthservice discounts website, but when i brought this up, the server had not heard of it, upon speaking to a manager they confirmed that they stopped nhs discount after Covid rules relaxed, but hadnt cancelled it on the website! They should have honoured the discount as it was their error, and i gave up my discount at the local premier inn to support an independent business.

There was quite a lengthy queue to check- in which was a little uncomfortable but the room/bathroom were a good size. We enjoyed breakfast although the sausages could be of better quality. We were particularly interested in the Churchill Room which sadly appeared to be being used for a function. Our short tour of the Turkish Baths were incredible and sleep quality (quiet room) helped provide a really good relaxing trip overall . Thank you.

Really tired looking inside the hotel. The room was particularly dated, wallpaper peeling, drab furniture, old fashioned and the most awful view of a car wash. Corridors were rather dirty. One male nember of the reception staff was very obnoxious and downright rude. Younger male, dark hair. Fortunately, another male took over from him and was much more pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was very nice, and a good location near the North Shore. All in all, a very mediocre hotel. Will not return.

Arrived at the hotel to find a massive queue for check in which took around 45 minutes to get to the front. These seemed to a combo of sheer volume (due to a conference in the hotel) and staff battling a booking system which seemed to involve multiple bits of paper and general confusion. The hotel itself is tired but perfectly nice and breakfast is very good. The downside was our room which had shockingly bad pillows. Also suffered from noise as we could hear anyone walking in the corridor outside and above the room.
