We had a very good welcome when we arrived late due to a wedding we were attending. Quick and efficient check-in. Rooms were generally good, although the shower had signs of orange bacteria and some black mould on the ceiling. The bottom of the shower door and sealant around it was tatty and looked dirty, so much so that I didn’t want to use it. Breakfast was good, bit limited choice due to additional £5 charge for what you would expect to be on an ordinary hotel menu. Continental breakfast was ok-ish, bit limited. Price of breakfast was quite expensive. Staff were good, especially the ma. In charge. Overall, good, but still things that need sorting. Places like the premier inn have their breakfast sorted and we regularly stay there because of their good and reasonably priced breakfast.

Disappointing!

We booked a deluxe room. The bedroom was fine but the bathroom was a huge let down. Mould in the shower tray and above on the ceiling. They had also had some sort of leak on the ceiling and it’s was mouldy and flaking paint! The bedroom was warm but the corridors, reception area and downstairs bar was cold, with additional electric fan heaters around - which didnt make much difference! As our stay was only one night, this was all very disappointing.

Macdonald Hotel - quite poor

Arrived late at night and sign posting was dimly lit. check-in ok. carpets on way to hotel block were dirty. Room was very big but cold all through night. shower would not turn off. TV Channels very limited no 3 pin plug sockets at side of bed so had to charge phone in on other side of room. Ordered fish but no fish available, had to settle for very expensive burger which had a very hard bun base. Only coke available in small and very expensive 330ml glass bottle. Breakfast took its time being cooked and bacon was very fatty. Not happy really

We enjoyed our stay in the McDonald hill valley hotel. Bathroom needed redecorating. On arrival, we checked in, as we entered our room we actually walked in on someone in bed who was not at all happy understandably. Neither were we. Somehow we’d been allocated a room that had already been allocated to someone else. Very embarrassing situation. Staff were apologetic and we were offered an upgraded room. Other than that no other problems. The bed was very comfortable.

Overall disapp

Hotel is cold in some communal areas, bedroom however was super warm and cosy. Generally the hotel is looking tired, that goes for the Spa too. The room, at first looked quite lavish until i got to the bathroom which was not only dirty but the workmanship was shocking. The bed linen was clean and the bed was super comfy. Choice of pillows. Food prices are soooo overpriced and quite frankly unreasonable, (we ordered off the bar menu). Breakfast offered plentiful choice, not all items were warm. Overall disappointing..

UNDERWHELMED YET AGAIN!

Hill Valley never fails to disappoint!! Hotels.com refused to refund my money after I entered an incorrect date by error. This is totally IMMORAL. The hotel was virtually empty. My room was COLD on arrival. The TV did not work (wrong remote control left with TV!). No instructions on how to use the Nespresso machine. Chairs in bar restaurant were grubby. My meal was incorrectly described on the menu; some of the food was hot. Some was cold. And served on a cold plate! No condiments on the table. Sound system playing piped music was totally distorted. Needs replacing. Little things mean a lot in a 4* hotel. Hill Valley needs a major shake up and spruce up. It's a shame they have the virtual monopoly on hotel accommodation in the Whitchurch area. Premier Inn would be a better choice.

Well located but dated

Well located for a business trip. Hotel getting quite tired and in need of refurbishment, although the hotels.com photos gave the impression of being very well maintained. Piped music system had a wiring issue meaning very annoying buzz/hiss accompanied breakfast/dinner/bar.

Superb Staff!

The staff at this hotel were exceptional. After trying to get a taxi without success and having an injured leg, the front desk staff arranged for one of the other members of the team to drive us to the train station. They went above and beyond and it was really appreciated.
