We had two rooms - in one the hot tap was full on fast-running all night, steamy windows! The second had a very hot radiator that couldn't be turned down or off. The energy bills must be enormous - I had to sleep on top of the bed (windows don't open). The bar was also too small and had a huge queue. And they overcharged me

Having an initial issue with our allocated room on arrival we were quickly moved to another without any fuss. All the staff were lovely and although there are some areas inside and outside the hotel in need of renovating/updating it did not bother us on a whole. But...Our major problem were the lifts, they were either out of order or took as long as almost 30mins for my partner to get in. We were on 5th floor and due to him having a history of heart attacks and COPD using the stairs was a definite no for him. One area that would benefit massively from updating

Room was unbearably hot—only a fan in the wardrobe. Shower over bath was broken, so bath only. Loud pub noise disrupted sleep. Fire alarm at 11:30 PM due to faulty sensor (per manager). Worst hotel room I’ve ever stayed in. No way to contact directly to complain and contact form not working.

The room was so poor we had to leave. And did not even stay the night. When walking into bathroom felt like we might fall through. The walls were covered in stains and who knows what. The beds were shabby matress covers were scratched. What appears to be a pet friendly hotel is that when they find out you have a pet they move you to these rooms. When handing key back got no offer of a refund. Also another couple with a pet also did same as us.
