It was a well kept Hotel and the Staff were very pleasent. Parking is a bit of a problem but was overcome
This Hotel is very good, well located. Staff is welcoming. We have a good stay there!
clean, decent sized room, modern, central
We were looking for some grub on the Saturday night before we went out but didn't want a big meal, the only place there was to eat was the restaurant that you had to book, no food or snacks in the bar and we took a walk but couldn't find anywhere in the vicinity to get a snack.
Bar food is served until 8pm in the hotel on Saturday nights, there are also 4 restaurants less than 200 meters from the hotel, one of them is an Indian restaurant next door to the hotel. As regards Cafes & bars for snacks, unfortunately there are none within the vicinity that serve food after 8pm on Saturdays.
It is obvious that the hotel is having a facelift, as the room was very clean, comfortable and modern, but the communal areas like the lobby and hallways are still in need of updating. That said the hotel is very good value for money and staff were very friendly and helpful.
Value for money.
The bedrooms were clean and of a good size with great facilities.
only problem was the heating did not work..we were going out so did not do anything about it
It's a very good hotel to stay in for a few days. Quite central, close to bus and train stations, on the main traffic route - yet you don't notice it inside the hotel. The rooms are top and well kept. Internet access is the room is easy to connect to. Breakfast is okay - but tea and coffee are quite tasteless and flat (a different brand may do the job). A night reception service may also be useful (or one that lasts at 11pm rather than just 9pm) - especially on weekends.
The reception staff in the hotel work until 11:30 pm each evening. After the reception staff finish, the night manager can deal with any enquiries the guests may have. Our Tea/Coffee brands have been changed in January 2008.
The room was newly refurbished and very good. The rest of the hotel, however, was really dreadful - the corridors smell bad! The lift appears stuck together with sellotape! If there are plans to refurbish the rest of the hotel, that is fine, but why must it be dirty? I did not eat or drink inthe hotel so I cannot judge these facilities, but I did not want to risk it anyway!
We have recently refurbished & redecorated 1 of our elevators in the hotel, the second is being worked on at present. We did have a problem with smell in the corridors in October due to a problem with our boiler; it had been sorted within a matter of days. We do apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Room was very nice and suited our purpose and need; quite impressed with the Timber toes Bar - did not eat at the restaurant. Good location - very convenient to the activities in the city.
Very good
It took ages for the staff to get our friend another room as he had a leaking toilet. The lift was not working. The restauraunt was not good the food was over done and almost inedible
The lift in reception was serviced in April 2007 and has not broken down since. The only thing I can think of is that it was in use at the time, however, there is a second lift that takes you down to reception from all floors. As regards the other complaints, no formal complaints were made by the guest on the day or on check out, as such we have no record of them. I can only apologise for the delay in changing rooms & that they were not satisfied with their meal.
Comfortable and friendly and relaxed even though it was a bank holiday weekend!
