    Parking lot all flooded. Arrived to find staff chatting and watching a football game, the receptionist had his back to the desk and we patiently waited until he noticed we have arrived. The people on the night shift were unhelpful, not friendly at all, it felt like we were doing something wrong for just being there. We asked for the breakfast timing and had wrong information. So when we came down to eat, the breakfast had ended already. When we complained, staff said we should have read the info on the card we've received the night before. Absolutely awful experience, all we wanted was to leave.

    Absolutely abhorrent. The hotel is dated in terms of decoration, furnishings and attitude of staff. Our weekend away for a close friends wedding was ruined by our stay here. All of the rooms were boiling hot, the radiators were off but the piping around the room was hot and therefore outputting heat continually. The air conditioning did not work. Upon arrival we noticed one part of the car park had some mild flooding, we asked if we needed to park somewhere else but we were told it was fine and to leave our registration and phone number. On Saturday morning the flooding was significantly worse, I again asked what we should do and was told the hotel staff were working on a solution to reduce the water the car park and I’d be informed if we needed to move. We attended the wedding and upon return found significant flooding outside of the hotel, the staff shrugged it off and told us we could move our car, however at this point none of us could legally drive as we’d be at a wedding reception. In the morning the flooding was even worse and our car was completely stranded. I requested assistance and notified the staff I was registered with a disability. I was met with complete distain and basically told it was our fault for not parking elsewhere, even though the hotel as responsible for informing guests of any issues with the facilities. The flooding so bad when leaving that my husband had to wear bin bags around his legs to access his car. His car had filled with water on one side and caused damage to the interior. I requested the hotel refund us for part of our stay, they refused and said I must lodge a formal complaint. The hotel and staff are absolutely terrible, I would recommend anyone to completely avoid this hotel

    Awful hotel, we were in reading for a funeral, I thought I’d spend the extra on a nicer room so that we could at least enjoy the end of our day and relax, but we were incredibly disappointed. The old windows didn’t shut properly so the room was freezing cold, there was black mould on the ceiling, we had no hot water in the room so both had cold showers in the morning, the carpet was covered in stains and the furniture was old and tatty, there were no bulbs in many of the lights in the room, no sockets near the bed to plug in our phones, the dated tv couldn’t pick up a signal properly so stuttered constantly. Between the hours of 9pm - midnight there were people taking down a large canopy right outside of our window making a lot of loud noise/banging, and keeping us awake. Around 2am somebody was banging around in the corridor outside our room disturbing our sleep even further, all this on top of a very stiff bed meant we barely slept all night. The staff were very unhelpful upon arriving to the hotel, slid a form over to me and shoved a card reader in my face barley uttering a word, then roughly pointed us in the direction of our room without a single pleasantry. Overall I was absolutely disgusted with the room, and can’t express how disappointed I was to come back to this after the long, emotional day we had.

    The room was large.

    The Hotel is going through a renovation, well painting over the cracks to be more accurate. My first room had a bag of plaster left on the floor and tools all over the room, the 2nd room was covered in dust, had a broken sink and smelt of paint. The third room (i gave up and put up with it) had cracked tiles, screws protruding from the walls, tired fixtures and fittings and the air conditioning didn't work.

    The was no toilet paper or toiletries in the ensuite bathroom, and the keycard issued by reception did not turn on the power sockets in the room. My room was downgraded to a standard twin room from an exec suite and I am yet to receive any money back.

    The bed was comfy and the room was quiet. I appreciated being able to check in late at night.
