From outside, this property looks appealing to the eye but this perception soon changes as you walk through the reception door! It is like walking back in time and gives a feeling of unused!
Back in the day, i can imagine this hotel was very grand but, sadly, it has been neglected over the years and the public areas are very shabby and in need of a good clean.
However, the room itself was spacious and reasonably clean.
After a long drive , i decided to take an early night, in bed for 9.15pm so you can imagine the horror of being rudely awakened around 10pm to somebody walking in my room, turning the light on and saying something to me! When i had time to realise what had actually happened, i was badly shaken and really afraid to go back to sleep.
I decided to get dressed and go down to reception to report what had just happened. The receptionist was surprised to hear of my experience and accompanied me back to my room and explained nobody else should have access to my room and most likely it was the maintenence man entering, in error!
Never have i experienced this ordeal before whilst staying in a hotel and needless to say, i hardly slept the rest of the night as i was so shaken up, despite putting an ironing board and my suitcase at the back of the door!
I must add; there was no chain on the door or double lock which probably explains the reason the maintenance man was still able to gain entry.
As a result of this upsetting experience, i wont be staying here again
