Excellent

Room was clean but bathroom fittings seemed tired and in need of updating. Bed a bit hard and quite a small room. Plus side staff very friendly and helpful and breakfast was top quality.
Fab! Bar staff amazing and a great members evening
Amazing stay, even emailed beforehand to see if we were IHG members (which we are but we had credits to use on hotels.com)
The day we got there they were hosting an IHG members day and we were offered chocolate during check in, with lots more lovely snacks, wine etc on in the next room (totally free of charge!)
It was a super stay and the bar staff on the evening of the 10th october were super too! Really friendly, had a great chat and a laugh. Genuine assets to your team!
The ONLY downside was the radiators are SO loud.. they let off a seriously high pitched sound constantly so we had to turn the heating up so that the room would be warm enough to turn it off completely for the night. Well typically it ended up too warm, so we pulled the fan down to put on briefly, which was even LOUDER and sounded like it was going to break.
These only issues are thins out of the hands of any staff and more likely a higher management related problem not wanting to fund newer items for the rooms)
As a frequent visitor to this hotel it remains a good standard.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable however we were given a room with a wet room and the grouting on the floor tiles needed attention and the breakfast was ok more choice of fruit was needed
