Nice hotel, tall people beware
Very clean, easy check in, good location and comfy bed. Due to the age of the main building, our room had restricted room due to sloped ceiling. Fine for shorter people, something to lookout for if you are over 6ft. Breakfast and staff were all nice. Free parking was a nice perk

Unmanned reception needs work! But nice towels
One night stay for business - outside appearance of the property is good - nice gardens and terrace area. Check in us unmanned - with two self service consoles - the check in process was problematic as the console generated 3 room keys - i asked for 1 but none appeared to be programmed as there was no indication of which room i was in. I am pretty tech savvy but this process had me flummoxed! I had to hunt down a staff member to get a room key. Rooms were OK, functional, I stayed in one of the garden roms - nice towels though. The hotel provided tea a, coffee and biscuits and a jar of boiled sweets and palma violets - random! Breakfast we also good - plenty to eat - the usual faire. Check out - similar to check in - un manned - the checkout software asked if i wanted my invoice emailed - replied - yes - but the email address was wrong - did I want to change it? yes - but no option to delete the existing email address no member of staff around to ask. Conclusion hotel is OK but maybe need a little TLC in the guest rooms but the check-in check-out needs some work!

Do not stay here
I stay in a lot of hotels for work. This has to be one of the worst I have stayed at. The automatic check in didn’t work, after eventually finding someone in the bar, they tried to tell me it was my fault and then charge me for a room I had already paid for. Very few staff at all, very poor attitude. Another couple I was with found a turd in their toilet bin (I kid you not). I don’t normally leave reviews, but please save yourself money and don’t stay here.

Horrible
The room was old and tired, the bathroom was in very poor condition, the shower sounded like it going to take off, the bath panel was cracked and poorly fitted, the soap dispensers we’re disgusting, the carpet in the main room was heavily stained, I can go on but you need to get this sorted.
