The "Privelege Room " was a joke. Same size as the others. No lounge like other Hotels' Executive Floors. Cheap furniture and the bed headboard wasn't wide enough to accommodate both beds! Cheap thin towels and we weren't told we had a shower, no bath. We should have been told this at time of reservation. Chaotic bar area, no system in place. Staff were wandering around with plates of food asking randomly, "Is this yours?"
The location was excellent. Public areas were fine

There was nothing not to like. It was excellent , and also pool facilities were good and opened at an earlier time than other hotels we have stopped in. Good for early risers!
Hotel staff excellent, stopped for 4 days and had the option from the hotel as to whether we would like a quiet room and upon arrival we had a room situated at the very end of a floor in the quietest position as requested. Thank You.

- • Business trip

- • Classic Twin Room
- • Stayed 5 nights
The absurd fact I could not charge bar or restaurant items to my room account. Even crazier was being told I could have up to £30 a day credit on a credit card (which I never use) but not on a debit card with which I had paid my bill in full in advance of my 5 day stay. Worst of all was being awoken at 10.35pm by 2 phone calls to my room phone enquiring about my restaurant bill which I paid at 8.20pm on finishing the only meal I had at the hotel.
Didn't have breakfast Location excellent
