Poor stay at sands

Very poor booked 3 days only stayed 2days put us in a basement room that stank of mould and damp then complained and they moved me and my partner into a room with 2 single beds. Then next day went down for breakfast no table for us. So had to hang around for a table for 25 minutes. Next days breakfast nothing had been put on table. Very un organised.

Midweek break

Midweek break 3 nights. Although the parking was free, it was very tight and double parked and every morning had to wait about 15 minutes to get the car in front moved. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very limited and at a set time 8.30 no flexibility and had to be ordered in advance. Bar prices were very reasonable. The room though was extremely tired, The windows didn't work and could not be opened properly, decor was poor, badly in need of a repaint and would also suspect structural problems looking at the way the window was twisted. Ensuite was clean and fully functional. Generally the hotel was Okay, but rooms need major refurbishment.

Okay

Desk service was great, staff are lovely. Room was okay, bathroom and shower were nice. Room went from being really warm to cold and back quite quickly. Furnishing was okay but room felt quite cheapish with the floor being really creaky. Worth the price still.

Good stay

Nice hotel and staff. Building needs renovating - during our stay it was very windy and the roof was nearly blown off. Couldn’t sleep overnight because of the rumbling noise of the dilapidated roof.
