Good
Traveller Type: review category business travellers
  : Friendly staffLocationGreat breakfastI received a free upgrade
  : My colleague who I was with felt their room was not 100% clean (I can't comment/ didn't see it, mine was fine).Perhaps the hotel is looking a little "tired" and could benefit from a refurb, but it didn't spoil my stay

  : Everything was fine, parking, breakfast included.
  : The room was loud because of the traffic. Everything was fine but did not sleep well.

Pleasant

  : Convenience for travel (very close to the railway station, needed for travel to London). Very comfy bed.
  : The "Executive Suite" bathroom left a lot to be desired - it reminded me of a hospital bathroom... sorry.

  : The staff were very helpful and friendly. I enjoyed the breakfast. The location was good for me as it was close to the railway station.
  : The music from an event played until midnight, and was very loud.

Poor

  : Very close to the train station. Staff were friendly.
  : Was told on arrival I couldn’t use the bar at all because of a wedding. Location of most rooms are upstairs and virtually on top of the function room so there’s no chance of sleeping until the music stops. Bed was very uncomfortable and room could have been cleaner. Didn’t either bother with the breakfast as I opted to get an earlier than planned train.

  : The first thing was that as soon as you got into the room was the horrible smell, & then not all of the lights worked, as well as the heating rail in the bathroom, although the so called night Manager was a very good guy & did all he could to help us out, when he came into our room said that he could not smell anything as his nose was having problems, so, no, I cannot say that it was a very good experience & for me as he was just a one man band & they were using him for doing bloody everything, IE, night Manager, barman, & in the morning also cheat cook & bottle washer, as he was the only one on duty, doing the cooking & clearing up & not doubt washing up as well, & my god we paid £85 for that crap
  : See above as we did not like it all
