Disappointing!
We had room 54. Unfortunately it had an odd musky smell and we had an horrendous night due to the front door of the room banging due to wind that evening. The front door has what can only be described as too much room between the door and sill surrounding it so it is not a tight closing door. Nothing like a bad nights sleep when away.

Worst hotel room I have ever stayed in!!!!
Title: Worst Room I Have Ever Stayed In I stay in over 40 hotels a year, and this was by far the worst experience I've ever had. The first thing that hit me was the overpowering smell of damp when I walked into the room. The carpet looked disgusting, and the furniture was extremely dated. The mattress was so firm it felt like there was no mattress at all. I then noticed what appeared to be a splatter of vomit or some other liquid on the skirting boards. The bathroom fittings were missing parts, and the taps and power shower were covered in limescale and dirt. Despite all this, I decided to tough it out until I went to lie down and discovered vomit on the pillow inside a clean pillowcase. This was the final straw. I went to reception to complain and request a room change, but no other rooms were available. I couldn't stand another moment in this disgusting room, fearing what I might find next, so I packed up and left. Avoid this hotel at all costs.

Uncomfortable bed, changed no problem.
Original garden room had an uncomfortable. Bed. Hotel changed room to upgraded superior room at no extra charge. This room had a comfortable bed and pleasant outlook. The room was unusual in that all light controls were on the RHS of the bed. the person on the LHS had no light controls at all. The bedside reading light had no seperate control. The staff were all very pleasant and willing to please. The breakfast was good.

Below expectations
No one at receptions during stay, must have walked through the reception 6/7 times. Room doesn’t have AC and the tiniest fan is provided, way too hot. Sat outside the bar area for 45 minutes without service even after telling staff I’d be out there. Ended up going to the pub across the road which had excellent service. No TV remote in room.
