Long way to go Hotel!
Flooded car park but nothing new for this hotel even when it was the Hilton.. Many years of this. New reception area, clean and inviting but after leaving there the best way of describing the hotel is run-down and shoddy, which needs lots of work carried out quickly in the stairways (distinct smell of damp), hallways and rooms. The room we had looked like there had been a flood in the bathroom with the bath panel curling up, the door splitting and peeling, the shower is about 20 years old, random brackets left on the wall which I guess were old towel rails but who knows? The room felt old and well used (mind you this hotel was used as an immigration refugee hotel until recently!) Getting a taxi from the hotel and back was a nightmare because firms did not know it had open its doors to the public again instead of temporary housing for other people! When taxi were sourced, the reputation of the hotel was lower than a snakes belly because of the people that were there! Not a good start in anyway for the hotel and if they don't announcing they are open as a normal hotel again with paying customers this will not be open for long. A lot of work to be done with the local companies i.e. taxi companied etc and loads of work internally urgently required to make it a place you want to stay at or even recommend.

Our room was an executive room so we expected it to be nice! We were above a pub, which played loud banging music until gone midnight, I’ve been in quieter nightclubs! The worse part was they started the music again at 6.30am!! No one wants to be woken up to people blaring out sweet Caroline at 6.30 on a Sunday morning! Totally disrespectful

The hotel was clean and smart, the dining options were excellent and the food absolutely delicious. Staff were friendly. The room was clean and well equipped. Bathroom also nice and clean. The bed was a little uncomfortable but not terribly so. Unfortunately it was a very warm September weekend. The first night the room was unbearably got even with the window open as the air con wasn't working and the heating was on. We reported this to reception and asked if there was at least a fan. Unfortunately this wasn't provided and the AC wasn't fixed, we were told it was out on the entire side of the hotel our room was on, they had at least turned the heating off but it was still unpleasant warm even with having left the windows open. This did mean we didn't sleep at all well especially as the noise was excessive from parties and people coming and going from the hotel. The TV also wasn't tuned in so we couldn't even watch TV to pass the night and even though it was a smart TV it wasn't connected to the internet so we couldn't even cast to the TV from our devices. Hopefully the renovation work they are doing will fix these issues soon.

Very helpful and accomodating reception team. Corridors and door to room looked rundown and not inkeeping with the interoior standard of the rooms and lobby area, which were modern and attractive. Cleanliness standard good but bedding could have smelt fresher, mattress was also quite firm. AC not very effective, could only open the window slightly so room was quite warm.

The room was dirty and extremely tired. The toilet had brown stains, the curtains were covered in stains, the bedside table was covered in cigarette burns, the room was hot and stuffy/smelly. The Atlantic beer tasted bad/different and gave me an upset stomach (only had 2 pints). This is probably the worst hotel I have stayed in.

This is a hotel that has seen better days. On arrival there was nobody at the reception desk and we were left waiting for 20 minutes for a staff member to check us in. The room we booked was an executive suite for us and or 11 year old daughter, however the sofa bed was so uncomfortable with unpadded springs that all three of us spent the night in the king size bed. The hotel is undergoing some undergoing some refurbishment, which it badly needs, however the drilling and hammering at 11PM on a Sunday night was completely unacceptable. We paid extra for breakfast and honestly wish we’re had not bothered. The food had been left under heated lights for quite some time and was tough and greasy. The hot drink machine was broken so no hot drinks were available. All in all it was not worth the money. It was such a shame to see how this hotel has deteriorated over the past 10 years since we last stayed.
