I stayed for a few nights on a work trip. The room was lovely and the restaurant has a good selection of food. There were some problems with internet access one evening, but Caroline was amazing and went over and above to sort out the problem for us. She was brilliant.

A little underwhelmed
On the plus side, food in the bar was good, tasty and well presented. The room was comfortable and clean.
However, service was somewhat hit and miss. Some of the staff were rather abrupt and unfriendly. I feel that the place could be better organised, and could probably do with a decor update too. Not sure if I would call it a 4 star experience, even though we paid a 4 star price!
We had a lovely stay at Jackson I’ve stayed a few times and like the hotel
The room I had this time the bathroom was a bit below standard toilet seat was broke, shower rail was rusty I have had better rooms
Thanks

Restaurant served up some great food and pints. The staff were fantastic. Only issue I had was the elevator was broken and I was traveling with someone who is disabled.
