It isn't a great place for the disabled due to some very narrow corridors, very small lifts and stairs to contend with, not great at all.

I arrived at the hotel lugged my bags into the room for a three day stay on business unpacked and then tried to put my keys and other valuables in the safe. the instructions were unintelligible but it simply did not work, the manager came and could not get it to work and he offered to move me or get it repaired first thing the next morning. Rather than upheaval I elected to stay in my room. Overnight I discovered the TV did not work, the extractor in the bathroom did not work and the light in the shower intermittently went off. I reported these first thing and was told they would be done or I would be moved. The next day when I returned none of the jobs had been done and I asked to be moved, all they could offer was a room with a single bed so I declined. The second issue is if you have a ground floor room on the opposite side to the river you face a small road and car park that god knows whet goes on in as it was noisy until 1AM and then the bin lorries or whatever arrive at 5.30AM to empty the bins so not restful. on moving my bags out the lift to the car park was not working. A very tired hotel IMO. NOT A WORD OF APOLOGY FROM THE STAFF ON CHECK OUT AND NONE OF THE "HOW WAS YOUR STAY" questions!

Had to pay for parking not a good point should be part of the cost of the room, the room was small but had everything we needed for the one nights stay. Smile it costs nothing even if you don't really want to there 😊

Great for a weekend away,
Happy with our short stay. Room was large overlooking river, short distance into town for shopping and restaurants. Bed was soft but fine for one night. Bathroom now a shower room on the small size, not suitable for the larger person as toilet did not have enough space.

Nice room
An overnight stay on the way to a family event. Ample car parking, nice room and adequate, if uninspiring, restaurant. The level of lighting in the room was very low which was fine for relaxing but inadequate for working. Hotel staff were very attentive.

Where to start. We initially checked in and was given our room. After 3pm. However when we got to the room it was dirty and still to be cleaned after the previous occupant checked out. Stale left over Chinese takeaway included! Eventually refused the cleaning of the room (apparently a house keeping error) and demanded an alternative room. The new room was clean and comfortable (especially the bed) but again some of the expected items were missing, including the complimentary slippers. Bath robes very crusty and uncomfortable. Half way through are evening we returned to the room and found that my wife’s perfume was missing and there was a pile of toilet tissue in the shower! Bizarre. Thinking the perfume had possibly been misplaced we checked again at the end of our event when we again returned to our room. We then found that a bottle of expensive wine we had left in our room had been taken and my aftershave. In total 3 stolen items. Reported to reception first thing the following morning and after breakfast we travelled home. On arriving home the hotel called to say all 3 items had been found by housekeeping in our room! I’ll let you be the judge of whether we were incompetent and needing urgent eye tests or the items were stolen and simply the management knew how they could recover the items. When I collected the items despite a receptionists apologies there was no concern shown by the hotel about the theft. No comment or approach by hotel management.

Hotel was lovely, the privilege room was very nice, would definitely stay again. However access from the car park was a pain. I also paid for parking and they sold the space to someone else so I had to pay in a public car park elsewhere. They also didn't check me in when I arrived. I came back that night and they had no record of me even though my stuff was in the room and I had a key. They were friendly and helpful sorting it, but having issues in the first place was a pain.
