⸻ The room was unbearably hot in the summer, with no air conditioning and no fan provided. I had to specifically request a fan, which was very inconvenient. On top of that, a deposit was taken and never refunded. To make matters worse, the receptionist I dealt with was extremely rude.

Overall the hotel was pretty nice but can get really busy. A few other points: - Patchy wifi signal makes the tv difficult to use - Majority of amenities out of use including simulated golf, sauna and steam room. - Note that you have to ask for kitchen equipment to be apart of the rook after checking in - Staff knocked and walked in whilst I was in the room - Good location

Not great

The room was dirty on arrival , it had someone half drunk coffee on the side which was still hot and the kettle was still hot meaning they had only just left the room . There was makeup wipes across the kitchen side and used tissues and in the toilet it was the same . The TV remote did not work asked for a replacement which also did not work , didn't bother complaining about the room as didn't hold much faith as couldn't get a remote right so tidied myself

The hotel environment was generally acceptable, I encountered several issues that significantly affected my stay. Firstly, the hotel does not have air conditioning, which made it unbearably hot during the summer. Unfortunately, the hotel staff were unable to assist with this issue, making the stay quite uncomfortable. Additionally, there were problems with some of the room's amenities, including malfunctioning doors and light bulbs. Another concerning matter was the hotel's policy regarding holding money. Upon check-in, the hotel holds a certain amount of money, but the process of returning the deposit at check-out takes an excessively long time, which is quite inconvenient. Given these issues, I regret to say that I would not recommend this hotel

Experience from start to finish was not great, parking is very limited, hard to find and quite confusing. The room was like a super heated sauna, no air conditioning. We had to ask for an extra fan to get through the night. Can hear the trains even high up, didnt bother us though too much The bed was comfy however the bathroom smelt and didn’t feel very clean, especially the pink mould on the shower head. And the missing drain. The coffee/brunch place on the bottom floor looked really nice, and the surrounding area is lovely. Just a shame about the hotel!!!
