It was so bad we didn't stay. No heating at the beginning of December is unacceptable as was the lift not working. Non0e of these issues were told to us in advance. The beds weren't made up in the twin room adjoining the double. Stained mattresses is bad enough but on display is revolting. DO NOT STAY HERE!

Room was shabby and poorly maintained qitht the toilet seat being wobbly with some urine stains on it. The room stunk of cigarette smoke which lingeree throughout my stay even though the very nice lady on reception gave me a bottle of sir freshener. Bed was comfy and I actually slept very well. Breakfast was simple but ok however the lady serving was rude, abrupt and could do with a few lessons in customer service and relations. My company will not be coming back unfortunately

I booked a room and upon arrival at about 11.30 at night I was informed that somebody else is in the room that I paid for. The staff member kept on saying their other rooms were full and there is nothing they can do about it. So basically I had to sleep in the car that night. Its a complete disgrace. The hotel management never apologised and have not refunded me my money. I made several phone calls asking to speak to their management but somehow they are never available. Avoid this hotel like the plague. They are basically a bunch of scammers.

Angie at reception was lovely and very welcoming. I stayed in one of the first floor rooms - wasn't one of the new refurbished ones but it was still not a bad room. The bed was comfy and so I had a nice sleep. There were a few noises from neighbouring guests but what can you do about that? There are areas of the hotel that require some TLC and the bar/restaurant was closed which was a bit disappointing - however I was informed that this was due to renovation work. Hopefully next time I'm back I can sit in the lounge and have a beer.
