Christmas parties more important than guests sleep
My overnight stay with my family was ruined as they had a Christmas party in a function suite right under our bedroom and played loud music until midnight. My son has special needs and got more distressed the later it got and he couldn’t get to sleep. When I explained this to the manager she said there was nothing she could do and couldn’t ask them to turn it down or stop early

Great breakfast does not save IHG
Eds are still too hard. Shelves have not been dusted. Therefore marks on clothing laid there. Discouraging factor for IHG members in that ifbooked from anywhere else IHG points cannot be claimed. This will discourage people from choosing IHG hotels. Great breakfast.

Comfortable with a great breakfast
This place was great for getting into Lancaster. It was clean, comfortable and had a lovely breakfast. The only thing was, the double bed could have been a bit bigger.

Perfect
Highly functional room with everything perfectly placed and all the amenities you would ever want to make for a comfortable and pleasant stay. The breakfast was lovely - highly varied with an amazing selection of gorgeous cheeses and meats, cereals, fruit, waffles, pastries etc plus the usual hot food selection. Tiny downside - I would have liked more veggie offerings.

A comfortable stay and good value for money.
We planned to visit the Lakes, but chose to stay in Lancaster and travel in because of the facilities and value for money. The swimming pool and spa was the main selling point. We all enjoyed the swimming pool but unfortunately the spa hot tub was not working. The room was comfortable and clean. The bathroom looked new and clean, except for the old shower hose which had exposed plastic flex and black spots of mould. These are very cheap and easy to replace. The breakfast was good and staff very helpful although at times they were slow to replenish items. Overall, a very pleasant stay with only a few small shortcomings.

Great staff but average facilities for price
The family room was absolutely enormous for the 3 of us. Breakfast was quite chaotic with no cups or glasses, things having ran out plus the coffee machines not working. Also the pool was closed for maintenance and this was our main reason for choosing this hotel. We were given a free late checkout which was helpful
