Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Quite pleased. Room was clean, staff were helpful. No glasses, cups, kettle or ironing facilities in the room. Did not bother me particularly but good to know if it would bother you.
Room was clean, plenty of towels, would've been nice to have a small fridge, particularly in summer. Balcony was a lovely surprise and all, ALL the staff smiled and were very friendly. I could be cynical and attribute this to the new management 'bounce' but hope it shall continue as I am looking forward to return soon.
Nice room, good location and friendly staff. Hotel very worn and old hilton signs still evident in bathroom, needs a refresh

Didn’t expect the room to be as big as it was for the price we paid. And lots of towels given which was amazing! Comfy beds and sheets. My son loved the bunk beds and the privacy curtain
Hotel was dirty, Heating not working so freezing cold. Made us wait in reception area for over an hour to deal with. Short staffed, no manager or handyman on site for the whole weeked.
Changed 2 rooms due to heating issues not working.
AVOID
