Outdated and dusty room.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!

This was a reasonably priced hotel. It is a shame that there isn’t any parking on site, but car parks are close by to be fair. The room looked tired and could do with a refresh. The staff were friendly and helpful. They helped with our luggage so i couldn’t fault the staff there.

Gone downhill
It’s a shame it’s now so run down. Room smelt foisty & was freezing. Went for breakfast and as I’m gluten free, told there’s nothing for me & didn't even get offered a drink! Room didn’t get made up even though staying for 2 nights.

Comfortable and Clean
Very comfortable stay in a quirky ex-police station. It’s a pity the restaurant wasn’t open. My room was spacious with a stand alone bath. The fixtures and fittings were of high standard. The room was very clean apart from an oversight whereby the previous persons towel was hanging on the door and the bin needed emptied! Breakfast was good quality although not much choice for some, however, a large fry always suits my needs. The staff were all pleasant and we were even given a quick tour of the cells. Not sure why there has been so many negative comments so far, my only comment would be the lack of atmosphere but with a dozen rooms and no restaurant I guess other guests had to go somewhere else of an evening.
