Underwhelming stay. Needs attention to detail

chipped bathtubcheap shower head
the room showed its age. i noticed chipped wood on the bathtub and mold between the mosaic tiles. the shower head seemed cheap, and the hot water fluctuated quite a bit. it was not what i'd expect from a so-called 4-star place.

Fantastic Stay!

friendly staffspacious roomlong check-in
The gym has three treadmills and two stationary bikes, great for my workout routine. The room had blackout curtains,. The bar staff was very friendly. They were helpful with drink selections. I really liked the spacious room. It had lots of storage space.
Check-in took 20 minutes, a bit long. The hotel room was too hot, and the window only opened a small amount. The ceiling fan merely circulated the hot air.

The restaurant server, Rosie, was cute and helped me with my gluten-free meal. The hotel staff handled a surprise birthday well. They were accommodating. Victoria from the spa also came through and gave me a dressing gown!!!

Really good Stay

hotel groundsswimming poolcomfortable bedadjacent rooms
The hotel grounds were lovely. I enjoyed the swimming pool very much. The breakfast offered good quality produce and the rhubarb juice was amazing. I need to find some to buy for home. I found the bed in my room to be lovely and big. It was very comfortable too.
I requested adjacent rooms via email because my friend and I have mobility issues. Upon arrival, I was informed that this request was not possible. We were allocated rooms in different wings and on different floors, difficult.

The breakfast offers a huge choice of items. I especially like that it is available early. The staff works hard to get it ready for 6:30 am. The steak and ale pie was tasty.

The room was good and clean. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were well stocked with supplies. Cleaners came into the room everyday to make the beds. This was unexpected. I reminded me of it was an extra service.
