I had to change rooms the first day, lights not working in corridor. Smell of disinfectant entering the room, half the lights not working in the room, stains on the carpet, marks on all the furniture, a single bed strategically place in the room to cover deep gashes on the walls. I changed rooms for a slightly better room but the carpet was dirty and the room smelt. Fittings were loose on door handles, the bathroom floor had stains and the toilet seat was broken. The chair in the room had a cloth cover which meant it was broken underneath. The wifi was intermittent and I noticed they reduced the number of towels in the room for my last evening. There was no pool even though this was advertised on my credit card review of the hotel. Only one lift was working out of two (permanently not working) meaning it was quicker to take stairs up and down (I was on the fifth floor) - carpets were all worn or stained on stairwell and corridors. I would not recommend this hotel.

On a whole the hotel was good - breakfast especially. The room was spacious and clean but the bathroom could do with refurbishment, as could the bar, restaurant and lobby. And the lift is very small

Staff were great and welcoming on the front desk. Stayed here due to working and all I can say is the place really does need an uplift. Ranging from elevators, lights, floor, bedroom, showers all outdated and needs new life.

we booked a triple room for a 1 night stay , really looking forward to the stay ,my wife and elderly aunty went to the room to check in and were shocked and flabbergasted with the state of the room . Its supposed to be a 4 star more like 2 , the carpets chips on the woodwork basically horrendous, they were then offered another triple , better than the first but also in a very poor state of repair ,so disoppointed the you tall young lady on reception was fantastic if the rooms were like her you would have an amazing place .

Amazing staff, really friendly and helpful for any inquiries seeing as we got there like midnight. The room was clean and laid out nicely, considering i booked three singles. Good media selection on the TV, WiFi was a quick and easy process as well. Didnt get to try the food but I'm sure it slaps! Checkout was straightforward as well, amazing customer service from those I talked to.
