The room was awful! The bathroom had dust strands hanging from the extractor fan cover and mould around the edge of the bath and the plug wasn’t connected to the chain on the sink! The meal I had was awful and I ate 25% of it as it was greasy and terribly cooked and yet it’s called the ‘Cromwell massive’! Massively awful!!

We have stayed at the hotel every few weeks in the last four months to visit family living locally. Although the hotel needs a little bit of work in certain areas ie a little bit of refurbishing, we find it to be close to the high street and has private parking. The rooms are spacious and have everything you need for a short break including air conditioning and tea and coffee making facilities. The hotel has a restaurant downstairs and although the menu is small, the food is really tasty and reasonably priced. The breakfast is inclusive in the price and there is a good choice of cereals, fruits, fruit juices and a cooked breakfast buffet. The staff are very welcoming, friendly and helpful and always polite. We have met Alfie, a member of staff on each occasion we have stayed and we think he is a valuable member of staff. Nothing is too much trouble for him and he can be found at the check in desk, behind the bar and helping in the kitchen. He’s always very welcoming, polite and extremely helpful, a great member of the hotels staff. Thank you to all the staff involved in the running of the hotel, you’re a great team.

Dirty

The room was dirty, dust every where, the toilet was dirty, needed some bleach. Mold, around the bath, wardrobe handle was broken, and the balcony door was left open and was really hard to shut it. The dirty room made me not want to have breakfast as I did not trust the cleanliness. I paid £100 for 1 night which I think is totally unacceptable for the state of the room. Will not be staying there again.

We have stayed here before so this influenced our choice this time. The room was very spacious and had air-con which was nice. The cleanliness left a lot to be desired though. When the beside lamps were on the thick dust on the walls and the lamp base was very clear to see, as was the cobwebs and grime in the corners of the room. The floor had not been vacuumed either. The bed base had some ominous stains running down it too. It was a real shame that the cleanliness let it down. The staff were very friendly and the check in was a breeze. The breakfast was delicious. We would stay again but the room we were in definitely needed a deep clean unlike the previous one we had which was in the main building.

After looking at the photos of the hotel and noting it had 8.2 star rating I thought this would be a good place to stay for a couple of nights. Sadly this was not the case. The hotel looks tired, the carpets are stained and flooring scratched in the main areas. Paint work needs renewing. But the biggest problem was the cleanliness or rather the lack of it. Our room was large and had some good facilities like a TV, tea and coffee and a kettle, sofa bed and sofa and a balcony. The sofa bed was ripped on the corner and the foam was showing. The leather sofa had a thick layer of dust on the top. The balcony has a net over it to stop the pigeons flying in. Fabulous, except no one had cleaned off the old faeces that was on top of the air conditioning unit or the cigarette butts which were strewn across the floor of the balcony. The bathroom was just as bad. There was black mould around the shower screen and the grouting and a hole at the back of the screen which meant the water ran out of the shower and onto the floor making it very slippery. The shower dripped continuously to the point where we had to use the noise of the air conditioner to cover the dripping noise. The radiator in the bathroom had cobwebs and dust in it. Things had obviously come off the wall and rawl plugs remained where the holes had been in all different colours. Mattress was dirty so were the pillows and linen was marked. The rainfall shower head fell on my head when I took a shower.

The location and parking were perfect for us. We found the staff welcoming and supportive on arrival, including sorting out a problem they had with the room key card system. The continental breakfast was very good and there was the option of a cooked breakfast if we had desired it. The room was spacious and had good seating and a table which we liked. The bathroom, however, was disappointing as clearly it needs updating. The over sink light wouldn't switch on, there was a lot of mould on the bath sealant and an inadequate shower screen that didn't stop water pooling on the floor.

When I arrived there was no one at reception. after a wait of approximately 6 minutes a young man appeared and gave me the key card. I went up to the room and I found that the floor was not swept properly. The towels provided in the bathroom were filthy which prompted me to closely examine the bedding. The duvet cover had stains on the underside so I decided to turn it over. Also all of the room doors were what can only described as requiring renewing. They were scratched and scuffed and looked like they had all been kicked which Immediately made me worry that I'd chosen the wrong hotel. I found out later that the hotel had been housing immigrants for a long while and i don't think that the new owners had actually refurbished since. The outside temperature when I booked in was about 32 degrees so after getting someone the young lad from reception to show me how the air conditioning worked I asked for an extra key card to allow me to leave the aircon on for when I got back in the evening. I was told that the management didn't allow more than one key. The following morning I asked the reception to replace the towels and was told the cleaners would do that. When I arrived back in the evening they hadn't been replaced at all. I went back to the hotel to collect something in the early afternoon so needed someone to open my door as I had left my key in the room but there was no one there at all. I have mor complaints but no more room to express them. The worst hotel I've known.

I stay here at least a few times a month for business trips, unfortunately, it's gone downhill. Quality of the food, the rooms, the only good part are the staff who are friendly. Now you pay an extra for cooked breakfast (which I would avoid)

Great one night stay. Free breakfast which was good and fresh. Lots of free parking. Friendly and helpful check in staff and good sized room! Considering it was about £55 for a night, I was happily surprised by the quality of my stay.
