Party going on above us, no heating and plug sockets kept shorting. We were downgraded to a smaller room, we were refunded the difference. Not a good experience!

Location was perfect the view was amazing. Staff was friendly especially the supervisor kesha but i had to wait along time for coffee and milk refills. The breakfast wasnt very nice, meat was uncooked and the scrambled eggs was too runny. The room was absolutely freezing no heating working. I had to stay in my coat all night. There was someone elses hair in the bed and all in the bathroom, stains on the towel and rubbish left on floor outside room corridor for 2 days

Room 2423 The room was very tired with lots of scuffed, chipped and marked paintwork. Lots of stains on carpet and seating and very dusty around bottom of window frame. Bedding was very clean and comfortable. Sky bar being closed at 10.00pm was really disappointing as it was a big reason for us returning to the hotel again. We got in at 10.06pm and could not get served. We were not impressed with Our experience on this occasion. Martyn Hall

Everything about this hotel is/was awful… they can’t even see to lay carpet in the communal areas correctly, and the staff are the most disinterested people you’ll ever meet. Avoid at all cost.
