First impressions were that it needed a revamp. The lady on the reception was not particularly interested or helpful when we arrived. On route to our room we noticed how the corridors smelt of stale cigarettes. Our room door had been forced open at some point in the past judging by the ripped wood around the lock which looks like... more

This hotel was pretty easy to find and was very close to the airport. We got a relatively good deal for hotel and parking prior to holiday to Vegas. The hotel was a bit run down and there were 2 weddings going on so the hallways and bars and pretty much everywhere were overrun with very drunk wedding parties. After... more

Thank you very much for your comments regarding your recent stay at the Hotel. We are often very busy at weekends as the Bower is extremely popular in the local area for Wedding Receptions. We do try to allocate guests, that are not attending a function a room that is away from any noise, but sometimes this is not possible....

I booked via the hotels' own website as it was the best price. Great value room (same as price as the Premier Inn down the street if you include breakfast). Booked executive double and it was very large (King Size, writing desk, 24in TV, two armchairs, coffee/tea and ironing board/iron) and well decored. As I had to work on stuff... more

Went to a wedding so we had a special deal. Swallow hotels used to be good. This one is tired and needs refurbishment. Both our rooms and our daughters were without hot water from time to time; had to make emergency repairs to the loo system in our room - virtually every time we flushed. Food was mediocre. Housekeeping staff... more

Stayed at the Bower following my husband`s retirement party, On arrival given room number, went straight to the room, only to find it looked as though somebody had been having a party in it, bottles all over, the room and bed unmade . We went straight back to reception where the night receptionist didn`t really believe us until we insisted... more

I stayed at this hotel for a friend's wedding 4 years ago and some of the rooms were tired then. Upon our return to visit the friends this Easter, the hotel doesn't seem to have been updated and if anything it looks even more tired and in need of some TLC. The corridor to our room smelt of sour milk.... more
