"Disappointing - very dirty pee stained mattress. I’ve emailed the hotel twice to avoid leaving this negative feedback online - but no reply, so here goes … There was an odd smell in the small room, I pulled back the sheets to see a big yellow pee stain on the mattress on one side, along with other stains across mattress. The big pee stain had also transferred to the mattress protector, which suggests the protector was put on the bed while the stain was still damp! I told reception, no apology but they did give me another room - not quite as nice and even smaller, but cleaner. (I maybe should have asked for upgrade or compensation?) The Churchill is a good looking hotel and great location but so very disappointing that they think it’s ok to let guests sleep on filthy mattresses that should be thrown out and replaced. If I’d not checked, then I would have been sleeping on a pee stained mattress (potentially still damp), which is disgusting. I hope no one else is unfortunate to stay in the room until the mattress has been replaced (1st room next to reception). It also raises the question- are any other beds in this dirty condition?"

"Excellent Hotel Breakfast the best The staff are all wonderful. Parking is also great "

"No responses to messages prior to arrival to ensure we could get a wheelchair accessible room. On arrival, the only wheelchair access was up an incredibly steep slope to a door that will not remain open, making access very difficult. Check-in was cursory and we were only asked about parking so that they could charge us £12 per night to park up a hill away from the hotel, as the hotel's 4 blue badge spaces were always full. We were not asked about assistance in the event of an emergency, which is as a minimum standard best practice for wheelchair-using guests. The room was unbearably hot, and the windows in the bedroom and bathroom would not stay open unless wedged. The bathroom window mechanism in particular was broken and obviously had not been maintained. Same could be said for the rest of the tiny en-suite, which everything had been crammed into with no thought as to how one would use it. The soap dispenser was so high off the ground that even being 6 foot tall it was awkward to use. Add to this the smell of drains, and you can get the picture. To top it all off, the lift was broken on the last day of our 2 day stay and we were forced to use the staff elevator to get to and from our room. This hotel is living off the vapours of the memory of Agatha Christie, but it's rested on its laurels and is instead in dire need of renovation and improvements."

"The room was small, but perfectly adequate for a short stay. The bathroom was nicely fitted out, the bed was comfortable and there were teabags, milk etc. which were replenished on the second day. The staff were friendly and helpful and parking was easy to arrange, although you do have to pay."

"Room was clean, we didn't use the bar or have food."

"Bar was well stocked staff were all nice and pleasant, bed was a bit hard and the pillows not very comfortable "

"Breakfast was, although would prefer to be served free tea & coffee, rather than having to queue at a machine forva very average drink. Room was comfortable & spacious, despite the decor being a little worn especially in the bathroom. Parking was good. All the staff we had contact were excellent, very friendly and helpful."

"The Hotel was grand and spacious including bedroom, bathroom, lobby and dinning areas. All very clean and well maintained. Shower was hot and good pressure. Staff were pleasant and helpful throughout stay. Excellent location for City Centre tourism. Would have got 5 star if swimming pool was bigger - though it was very clean including changing rooms. Breakfast was a little bland especially with coffee being served in jugs, though they had sufficient buffet options and dining area was excellent so not a big issue. I would definitely stay here again. "

"Lovely hotel, car park below with ample parking. Nice breakfast, huge beds, only critic is bath with shower. No walk in shower which with mobility issues did mean mom couldn’t shower. Lovely service and vibe, can’t fault the hotel. Thank you "
