4/10 Fair

Disappointing
Night manager gave me the furthest possible room. Smaller room than booked. Was filthy and room phone didn't work so couldn't ring downstairs. Had to take luggage back down across hotel and two seperate lifts and arrange another room. If it wasn't so late (after a long working day) I'd have walked out to another hotel). Will not be booking here again considering it cost over £100. I didn't bother having breakfast which was paid as i was running late as my room was outside the pub where there was lots of noise till late. Even though i requested a quite area.

6/10 Good

Seemingly very short staffed, with one member of staff trying to cook, serve and clear through breakfast on the Saturday morning, meaning many items on the buffet not available. The first room we were allocated overlooks a karaoke bar which was very noisy. They were able to move us to another quieter room which was great, but the room was tiny and very outdated, and down 10 miles of corridor and up and down two lifts, making it quite difficult to remember the route! As hotels go its fine, but pretty tired and run down on the whole.
