From booking in through to checking out so many things were not good or downright poor. All staff very pleasant but the hotel did not seem to be working anywhere near the level expected.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We were allowed check in at 4pm and turned up on the dot and they said our room wasn’t ready so to go sit in a lounge area and they would call. This messed up our agenda straight away and we couldn’t gain WiFi access as no room code. I provided them twitch my email and it looked like they had my mobile Number and still no contact t at 5.20pm to say I’d room was ready. Decided to go to reception to ask what was going on and was told They didn’t have my mobile number ? I then said why did you not email me and they apologised and said yes they should have. Made them aware of my I happinesses but nothing was escalated or offered. Device in lounges was slow and we waited 15 mins for our drinks to arrive. Poor experience
