The Corona bottle top on the bathroom floor was equal with a previous guests bar of soap on the bath edge. Yuk. A pity that there was no wardrobe just a freestanding rack.. Also a pity that the TV didn't work because the remote control batteries were flat. Also a pity that the stair and corridor carpets had seen a vacuum cleaner in weeks! Even the handrail was dusty. Never again...and at the price, I am a fool to have gone!

Some TLC needed for a comfortable stay

Stayed Sat O/N, friendly staff, good rooms except they are far too close to the deafeningly loud music venue which boomed on until midnight across the corridor. Bathrooms have loud fans which stay on all night with or without light, bathroom’s main light was not working and cupboard door had fallen off in one room, no chair in the other. Rec some TLC.

Would definetly not recommend staying over. restaurant and bar quite good but the room, particularly the shower, was very dirty and quite smelly. The ac was not working and was offered a fan. This was enough for the nights but the heat was unbearable in the day. Right next to our room there was an event room with a dj playing one night, was very very loud. Quite dissapointed with the room, staff did apologize.

The room had a really bad smoke smell, and the bathroom was not clean at all. It smelt like urine and we had to clean the shower before using it because there was urine all over the shower floor. The air conditioner didn’t work and there was only a small window so it was really hot and stuffy. There was rubbish under the bed and behind the bedside tables.

Bring your cleaning wipes. Everything was sticky and you could feel the slime on the bathroom tiles. There were spill marks on the walls and brown fluid leaking from the fridge.

Lady from the bar area was very helpful and cheerful. Location ok, meal at the pub was excellent. Did not see manager after check in! Would i stay again. No, they need to be more professional.

Staff were really friendly, gave good instructions and directions. Ok for one night. There is massive construction going on at the moment. Didn't realise there was a bar downstairs so you could hear the thumping music till pretty late. The milk and biscuits were expired and the windows couldn't close properly so the rain beat in. There's also no free parking till after 5pm. However, the location was excellent. Close to food & walkable to most of the major attractions.

Very noisey with patrons leaving the pub at close time, middle of the night woken up by someone collecting recycling (Beer bottles I suspect) from bins in the carpark, gardener arrived and started using a blower in the carpark at 6:45am. Bathroom was dirty and common areas were smelly. I’ve stayed here before years ago and was impressed with it then but it needs a renovation, even the pub area looks run down. Food was good in the restaurant though.

The spa bath was definitely the best thing about this place. However it didn’t seem like it had been cleaned properly as there was some funky juice in the fridge and I found an old cookie wrapper behind the bed side table. No bin In the toilet and no hand towels... Other than that the staff were very helpful and friendly and even offered us one of their staff parking spots as there was no all day parking near by. Good vibes downstairs too if that’s your thing.

Below average

The spa bath plug doesn't fit the plug hole correctly so all the water drains away. This is the main feature and tbh the bathroom is the only appeal to this room. Asking staff if they had a plug that would fit which they didn't have any alternative options to fix the issue. Cleaners had run out of bath towels so we we're given the last bath towel they could find and spare bath mats to dry ourselves on 2nd day. Air con isn't great takes a very very long time to kick in and a fan is provided but it is extremely noisy. Bugs in the drawers kinda of of like a beatle/Coch roach. As far as it states in the advert, it offers a mini bar but actually all you get is Tea, coffee, milk and some mini cereal bags not much of a selection. No cutlery provided, but okay with regards to glasses and cups. The bedhead is broken, pillows very uncomfortable so I didn't get a good sleep, and the TV is extremely old and not and due for an upgrade. Bar staff were very polite and friendly on the bar on arrival and helped us to our room with some cocktails we ordered.

Venue Ok, amenities not so good.

Venu was good, as it is a pub with food and drink options. Room was ok when I first arrived, a little basic and tired though. Room was clean although the amenities were a little less to be desired. You can’t fill the kettle properly as it was too large to fit under the tap! There were no plug sockets to plug the kettle in, near the fridge/drink station. So had to plug the kettle in on the other side of the room. In the small fridge, there were no milk cartons, just a schooner glass from the bar, half filled with milk, left there for guests use!
