Terrible customer service. Toilet roll was dirty. Fridge is not working in the room. Kettle and base is not compatible. The one is compatible which I have to plug in the socket on the wall near floor. That is very very dangerous especially when you have kids with you.

A wonderful experience a quality stay lush
Customer service well I would change the start go to the desk first thing they ask is can we have your card details for any damage to the room. As a guest coming to a hotel is that what I want to here. Put it on the online page you pay buy card you have the details. Hotel was very good,staff customer service very good. Clean,high standards from hall layout carpets rooms comfortable high standards. Distance to bay 10 minutes very good. Didn't try Thomas restaurant but looks good, prices bit steep for me. Hotel is very good parking is free linked to the Hotel need to register vehicle we used the stairs 5 flights that was clean toilets too gives a indication of standards. I'm straight to the point ideal for any millenium show or bay. As we were lucky the weather was sensational. Highly recommend this Hotel as one the best I have stayed in just work on the welcome to customers as it comes across robotic. I was impressed,I'm a huge reviewer if I'm putting this take note it's very good. Important that families with children know its what you need.

Annaliese

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Service was absolutely appalling. Extremely rude staff upon arrival. We were forced to pay an additional £30 for another adult to stay at the property even though I had originally booked for 3 adults to stay at the hotel. It was a special 60th birthday surprise for my mum and she ended up in tears from the rudeness of staff on reception. We were passed from one member of staff to another which took around 40 minutes to resolve the issue despite having a young child with us who was getting very stressed. Staff very rude when asked for additional milk and towels even though we had upgraded to a suite. Additionally, I booked for the sofa bed to be made up for my Aunty and called the hotel to ensure the request would be accommodated. Despite this, on arrival, the sofa bed was NOT made and we had to wait a further 30 minutes for a bed to be made up. Would not recommend this hotel.
