The lift didn't work for the duration of the stay a family got stuck in it on the first day.. Dated tech in rooms, tvs were probably 15 years old. Have to pay to park!! Yes it is discounted but this should be free if you are paying for a room. Do not recommend better options in the surrounding area.

The staff were unremittingly cheerful and polite but over-burdened. If you needed attention at reception they were busy in the bar; if you needed help in your room they were busy in the restaurant. They had problems finding the form for help with evacuation in the event of a fire and they were unable to assist in its completion (It's an incomprehensible and useless form anyway.) When we arrived we couldn't turn on the TV; the next night we couldn't turn it off. We had a room for two but only one of us could sit down - it took two days before another chair was delivered. We were invited to save our towels but they were replaced anyway - but not precisely. We finished up with 4 hand towels and I bath towel. It's also a shame that you need to endure the traffic jams approaching the Tunnel before arriving at the hotel.

Had a terrible nights stay. There was a couple staying on the same floor as us who kept us awake by constantly walking the corridor all night talking loudly because of this we were down for breakfast at 6.30 am only to have them come down and continue to be very loud. Unsure if the male guest was under the influence of something as his behaviour was very twitchy. We checked out at 7 am not a good start when we had a 5 hr drive home on no sleep.

The carpet in the room is very filthy and one of the tea spoons had been used and not cleaned up. It was just placed back, which would have been obvious to anyone it was dirty. Overall, I was alright.

Need more staff
They were very understaffed. We waited ages at reception, then waited ages for a drink . We would have had 3 or 4 if the staff had been more prompt. When 5 adults were in the lift it wouldn’t move even though it state it will carry 11 !!!!
