Avoid this hotel

We usually use holiday inns for work purposes and I've stayed in plenty. You would usually expect a decent level of hotel. This one needs to be avoided. Poor condition, mouldy rooms and poor service.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service

Not great, but convenient location.

Hotel is tired decor-wise and in need of a refresh in places and good clean in others (didn’t risk sitting in the room’s armchair) Restaurant service was below par. Staff seemed to be more keen to chat with each other than actually serve. Meal inclusive deal (two courses) was a bit of a farce given everything the dessert ended up on the bill, along with the manager’s‘complimentary’ drink for my inconvenience. Check out was a chore with only a single member of staff on the desk @ 8am when lots of people were leaving at the same time (to get to work by the look of most of us). Will I stay here again ? With a Village Hotel nearby… No !

Not as expected...

A rather disappointing visit. Booked here so we could use the pool, only to find it was booked out completely for swimming lessons throughout the day 10-6. Misinformed about an available slot which turned out not to be, too. So no swim over the two days as we were offsite in the evenings. Booked a queen bed, got two singles. And tea, coffee and milk supplies were not topped up during second day, when we were very late back in the evening, so no morning cuppa!
