Horrendous
Awful, DO NOT GO TO THIS HOTEL. No hot water for our entire stay, no towels, no staff, guests were going into the kitchen to get things for breakfast as no staff on site. No light bulbs in the lights, bar not open again no staff on site, shabby on the outside and decor 20+ old.

I enjoyed the large pool even though the lights didn't work and the showers were not working, and the sauna was not working. The place was disgusting dirty. I asked for the bathroom to be cleaned and they sent a cleaner but they did not clean the bathroom, just poured some cleaner in the toilet. The lifts were broken, there wasn't any bedside lamps, the radiator was broken and we couldn't turn off the heater. There wasn't any breakfast available by the time we got there. Breakfast was sliced bread, single boxed cereal and an urn of hot water with sachets of coffee and tea. There wasn't any soya milk as I cannot have milk and there wasn't any cups left for a cup of coffee.

Needs money spent on it, it has so much potential. We would not stay here again unless it drastically improves.The only good thing about this place is the staff.

Our stay
Done a last minute booking. We got there and was told that the room we had booked was already occupied. They found another room for us. They apologised for the mess in the stairways as they are decorating, that’s understandable. We were then told that there was only continental breakfast as the restaurant is also being redecorated. The breakfast bar was still on show, nothing was covered over and it was near the entrance. When we got to our room the door wouldn’t lock at all. The balcony door was padlocked shut as they said they has lost the key for it. The room was very dated, the bathroom was dirty with spiders everywhere, couldn’t change from shower mode to taps for bath. The tv remote was held together with a bit of old paper and tape. Was absolutely disgusted with the room. Was nothing like the pictures they show to advertise the place. We ended up leaving and finding somewhere cleaner and more comfortable to stay

Limited parking, about 12 spaces for 55 rooms, we had to park outside! Property needs lot of work, specially in the rooms! And needs to be clean more often. We stayed 2 nights! Second night, We found the room as we left it, they did not do the rooms, bed was not done, toilet was not done, tea, coffee and milk was not replaced! Bed and pillows needs to be replaced, they are quite old and we had not had a nice sleep, windows do not close properly. Breakfast: we had to look each mug to find a clean one, bread had mold.
