Rip off

Personally the hotel was ok but justifying paying over £500 for a standard room that was not great? I don’t think so, understand rugby is on. But don’t rip people off to that level. Also then paying £24 for parking with no discount, understand again that it’s a different company but no discount for residents and paying that price to stay??

On chatting terms with the silverfish in the room!

The located is good. We have stayed in the hotel before but this time the rooms were clean on the surface but old, tired and grubby in the corners. The bathroom smelt damp and there were silverfish. There was old black gum on the carpets. Not great.

Entrance barrier to car park was broken. Bug found in bath. Heating wasn't working - replacement one offered would have done well to heat the inside of my car, let alone a hotel room. Booked an Executive Room for our Anniversary in which was no different to a normal room, maybe more floor space? No towels or robes for use of Spa. Faulty key to room. The staff however were extremely helpful but felt bad for them as we had so many issues!
