Illegal practices - reported to fire inspector
I have a very long list of complaints about this dreadful excuse for a hotel, but the first has to be that it is not safe for anyone to stay in. In breach of their legal duties they do not provide fire evacuation plans, do not have emergency exit signage and routinely prop open fire doors. One afternoon in the space of 20 mins I closed a fire door three times (having just complained about it being propped open) and every time it was then propped open again. Ironically they prop open one of the doors with a fire extinguisher - see photos! Having spoken to a family member who is a fire chief he advised me to notify the local fire inspector immediately. The fire inspector then called them and the receptionist admitted she had propped a fire door open. She was instructed to close it and then notify all guests verbally of evacuation plans. We never had that notification so located our nearest fire exist ourselves. They are now being audited by the fire inspector this week In light of the above I guess it’s not surprising that the hotel also completely misrepresents itself on its advertising. It describes itself as having modern and luxurious rooms, whereas it is actually rundown and filthy. Rooms have no resemblance to photos in adverts. Stink of dog, not decorated, smaller than advertised. Receptionist response was “tough”. When I tried to record her, having asked permission, she became violent & tried to snatch my phone. Please take your loved ones somewhere safe instead!

Do Not Book. Unfortunately we had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. We were given a room that looked nothing like the pictures, and told there was no other rooms available and that other guests had been given priority of room because of how advance their booking was. Our booking was made 3 weeks prior so I wouldn’t have classes us as last minute. There was MOLD all around the windows in the bathroom and we were lied to that it was “grit” until the cleaner apologised that it was infact mold and was under the seal of the window. The shower pressure was a dribble so that was shocking. The reception girls were not only patronising but extremely unhelpful and u professional. I had to wait more than 30 minutes to try and speak to someone senior in charge as my request to move room was not taken seriously and when they eventually did show us a different room it was still outdated and not much difference from room 1. We were never refunded for our first nights stay however we were for our second night as we asked to leave the hotel and we found somewhere else to stay. This hotel was dirty, and didn’t make you feel at home. So disappointing and if I had not pushed for the situation to be handled we would have gotten nowhere. Do better.

Not worth the money
Staff were great, totally stretched though. Closest thing to fawlty towers i have seen . A lot of reviews state the lack of shower . We can back this up . The room was decorated with peeling masking tape . The toilet seat barely hanging on . The staff must have seen this as they had to clean it (i assume). I would not stay here again as the walls are paper thin. V noisey

Looks good on the photos, but they have spent more money on the ridiculously complicated over-sized TV's they should have spent he money on upgrading the showers so they actually work, we had 2 rooms in our group and the issues was in both. bar and restaurant staff were polite but didn't know what they were doing, sorry I rarely write a negative review, but i wasn't impressed

Average hotel whose better days are behind it. Good value for money though. Very disappointed to be told upon returning from an evening out that the bar was holding a private party so we were not allowed entry despite it being virtually empty.

Not like the photos
We were very disappointed in our stay. The photos on the Hotel.com page look nice but they were nothing like the rooms we received. Let’s start with the positives. The common area is nice and the beds were comfortable. We also had very good service from the girl at the bar (black, braided hair). The rest was less good. We had two rooms and they were shabby and dated. The bathroom was old and and basic. The shower was absolutely ridiculous. A trickle (I do not exaggerate) of water that took AGES to get warm. Way too expensive for what it is.

Lovely but check the room you book is the 1 in pic
The deluxe double room was very comfortable but we were disappointed not to get the beautiful decor and modern bathroom we'd seen as the main photos of the room. I'd booked it for that reason and was happy to pay the price because it looked so special. Our room was nice enough but I don't think it should have been the same price

Good location. Old part of the property appeared very nice, new part of the building not so. Completion of work still needed. Bar area nice. Breakfast was ok. Some days only one member of staff on duty which made service slow. Fruit juice and milk for cereals often running out and having to wait a while for refills, especially when only 1 staff member on duty. Food good when it eventually arrived. Room was on the smaller side although it didnt help that there was a huge TV in the room... too big for the room, dated TV. No doors on wardrobe. Poorly fitted carpet. Comfy bed with nice linen. Bin wasn't emptied everyday or tea/coffee and milk replenished. Shower over the bath was more a trickle than a shower, there's saving water, but it was ridiculous!!! Toilet seat moved around . We returned to the room one day to a bathroom sink filled with water and bleach and tap dripping slowly, water level almost to the top, potential of a flooded bathroom if we had not arrived back when we had. No bin or anywhere to dispose of sanitary waste. Staff were friendly. Outside was nice with a heated swimming pool. Having work done on the sauna during our stay, which was noisy at times.
