I stay here at least a few times a month for business trips, unfortunately, it's gone downhill. Quality of the food, the rooms, the only good part are the staff who are friendly.
Now you pay an extra for cooked breakfast (which I would avoid)

The location and parking were perfect for us. We found the staff welcoming and supportive on arrival, including sorting out a problem they had with the room key card system. The continental breakfast was very good and there was the option of a cooked breakfast if we had desired it.
The room was spacious and had good seating and a table which we liked. The bathroom, however, was disappointing as clearly it needs updating. The over sink light wouldn't switch on, there was a lot of mould on the bath sealant and an inadequate shower screen that didn't stop water pooling on the floor.

The staff were lovely and went above and beyond to do all that they could. However, the rooms are in need of some work, the heating, ceiling tiles, sofa’s that aren’t worn out, etc. This would make the hotel a truly lovely place to stay.

After looking at the photos of the hotel and noting it had 8.2 star rating I thought this would be a good place to stay for a couple of nights. Sadly this was not the case.
The hotel looks tired, the carpets are stained and flooring scratched in the main areas. Paint work needs renewing. But the biggest problem was the cleanliness or rather the lack of it.
Our room was large and had some good facilities like a TV, tea and coffee and a kettle, sofa bed and sofa and a balcony.
The sofa bed was ripped on the corner and the foam was showing. The leather sofa had a thick layer of dust on the top. The balcony has a net over it to stop the pigeons flying in. Fabulous, except no one had cleaned off the old faeces that was on top of the air conditioning unit or the cigarette butts which were strewn across the floor of the balcony.
The bathroom was just as bad. There was black mould around the shower screen and the grouting and a hole at the back of the screen which meant the water ran out of the shower and onto the floor making it very slippery. The shower dripped continuously to the point where we had to use the noise of the air conditioner to cover the dripping noise. The radiator in the bathroom had cobwebs and dust in it. Things had obviously come off the wall and rawl plugs remained where the holes had been in all different colours. Mattress was dirty so were the pillows and linen was marked. The rainfall shower head fell on my head when I took a shower.

Old run down place.
No heating in the room, it was 6 degrees in there all night. They gave me a new room in the morning, but when I arrived after work it was just 12 degrees in that room. It´s also very worn down with stains everywhere on walls and floors, and it smells of mold.
