I was very disappointed with my stay this time - The Talbot have introduced car park charging which added over £10 a day to my stay and I was not told in advance. There was no extractor fan in the bathroom. I was expected to make tea and coffee with a wooden stick instead of a teaspoon. When I left I had to make two trips to my car, after the first trip to the car my key card no longer worked and when I went to reception to explain, the women made it work again but wasn’t remotely interested in me to say oh dear, or sorry or anything - in fact she was rather dismissive of me. What if I had been having breakfast? I wouldn’t have got back into my room either.

Generally not bad wet room left a lot to be desired, rusty pipework, black mould on seals . Shower adjustment rail was broken. Tv remote would not work window catch broken and a bit mean with complementary milk & teabags. Parking charge expensive. Opening window would not be excessible for many disabled. Breakfast was very good.

Pleasant enough stay.
Pleasant stay. Visiting Wisley a very short distance away so very convenient. Bed comfortable, shower cabinet needed a hood clean, otherwise acceptable standard of cleanliness. Breakfast ok except overcooked bacon and eggs

A reasonable hotel
I stay regularly at this hotel. As usual on arrival reception was not manned, and there was therefore a considerable delay checking in. I times my arrival for 8p.m. but there was a hold up on the M25 so I missed the incredibly early 8.30p.m. cut off for the restaurant. The rooms are looking a little grubby with dirty paintwark, that just needs a good clean, other than that this is a well appointed hotel, in a great location.

Excellent and poor under the same roof.
The staff at The Talbot Inn were very nice and were helpful, the restaurant food was excellent and plenty of choice but the breakfast was poor, greasy and had a limited choice for vegetarians or vegans. The bedroom was stylish and the bathroom modern but it was grubby, with a stained carpet, dirty net curtains and cobwebs. The tables and chairs in the bar were dirty and sticky and dirty ashtrays on the tables in the garden were not changed for clean ones until the following evening. The setting was beautiful and the outdoor terrace and garden were lovely and it was dog-friendly everywhere except the dining room. The booking form through Hotels.com that I used did not have a selection for bringing a dog or parking overnight, both of which transpired to be chargeable items even though I booked a dog-friendly room and was a guest over a long weekend. I felt that Hotels.com should have flagged those options as it added 20% to the cost of the room. The hotel manager was good about that though and reduced the extras fee when I raised the issue.

Disappointed with noisy and very dusty dark room
Disappointed in all as we’d upgraded to a deluxe 4 posted bed for a one night stay. The room was extremely noisy on the road and above the bar area. Poor nights sleep as we could hear noise from surrounding rooms and very creaky floor above. The room was very dusty and bathroom wasn’t very clean. We stayed in Room 02. The food was very good in the restaurant though and breakfast was ok. Being charged £10 to park is a bit much too. Shame as lovely looking pub.

Grubby room PARKING IS NOT FREE.
A huge bug bear of mine is hotels that advertise parking and then upon arrival, you discover either there are about 4 parking spaces or you have to pay separately for parking, That was the case here £10.20 parking fee... I also emailed in advance to enquire about parking and had no response. the hotel itself is very tired, cobwebs in my room grubby walls and carpet. The water system liked to make a strange coughing and draining sound every 15 minutes or so. There was also a wedding during my stay no ideal when I had a 6am start and you can hear both quests outside and in the corridors.
