Nice but could have been better.
Reception wasn’t staffed for arrival, but there was a telephone number to call and the manager arrived a few minutes later. We tried to have a shower before popping out for a bite to eat but the shower looked like a rhino had used it before us! You couldn’t switch to the main shower head as the handle had been snapped off and the temperature was stuck in one position - scalding! The sliding doors to the shower were off their rails so when we managed to use the hand held shower head water puthered out over the floor. We had a word with the manager who apologised, said he was aware and a plumber was coming the next day - no good for us as we were only stopping for one night. We were offered another room which was put to us that it was a more expensive family room, but the one offered was no where near as nice as the one booked. As alternative to the shower we had a lovely roll top bath, which was nice but the pipe work up to the taps had been repaired with a hefty amount of black tape! The room was very clean generally and the beds were super comfy. Breakfast was self service with a selection of cereals, toast and crumpets juices and tea / coffee. With a little more care, a full English breakfast this could have been a lovely hotel but I wouldn’t book again.

2 night stop over
Just a two day stop over .So, cant grumble. Parking is a real problem as the off street is permit or time restricted Managed with the kind help of the hotel to find something but dont count on this one off. All in all it was fine.

I would have given an excellent rating but for two things. I was told that the doors would be locked at 10 pm but on arriving at 9:30 pm found them locked and reception unmanned. Secondly the shower temperature could not be adjusted from scalding hot so unable to shower before I left.

We booked for 1 adult one child (2 beds) on arrival there was minimal staff. Our room was large and clean but only the double bed was made up, no bedding for the sofa bed and no staff to ask. This meant I slept on the sofa bed with no pillow/blanket, needless to say I didn’t really sleep. Not great when we paid more than we would have in a premier or travel lodge -

Outdated and dusty room. The bathroom was large but the finishing was poor. The taps in the shower was broken and the only water was scouring hot and unusable.

Excellent value for money
Excellent place to stay, helpful staff, comfortable room and a free continental breakfast, unfortunately the restaurant was no longer open Which was a bit of a shame hopefully it gets back up and running, the park directly opposite was brilliant was nice for a stroll along the water and a evening run along the canal, hotel was great value for money and Retford town was quite pleasant, would stay again.

I scored low on condition as we had problems in the bathroom. Shower broke in my partners hand and bath shower leaked all over floor. We did manage to get a wash of sorts but bathroom floor was like a swimming pool. The actual bedroom was lovely. The staff were lovely - friendly and helpful. In fact, we found the people of Retford very friendly and helpful. A trip to the town is worth it just for them. The exterior of building needs a bit of attention and the front door steps are hazardous. Having said that, it is a building with potential. Continental breakfast was included and, although not exciting, was satisfactory. The coffee was good!

Was an unusual building for a hotel, an old police station with a lot of original features. Would stay again.
