Wrong booking reservations and prepayment rate & information, language challenges with reception staff. Known problems with internet room connection yet still allocated room and charged fee. Front of house staff seem to be trying very hard but I sensed more management communication and organisation required.
Usual good standard rooms, clean and well serviced. Irritating early morning internal noise/doors banging noise. Beware late night noise nuisance from adjacent Ice rink, quiet rooms are to front and leisure club end of hotel. Parking limited when hotel busy and Ice rink and racket/leisure club in full swing (sorry). Would have preferred to open windows to noisy air conditioning
In fairness, breakfast supplies kept coming, though customers were hovering outside the adjacent kitchen for cutlery & plates - Insufficient staffing and resources on those busier mornings. Evening meals - poor selection, certainly nothing to write home about and only if you’re desperate. No Bar/lounge or dining area atmosphere, limited bar facility and ran out of draught beer!
Unforgivable was the failure to fix the broken lift over the whole of the long Spring Bank holiday weekend and the ‘invisible’ management and other staff failing to assist older clients and those with infirmities struggling to negotiate the stairs with their baggage – Shameful!
Best of all, take advantage of hotel arrangements with sports club next door, tennis and squash courts, indoor & outdoor pools, extensive spa, steam and sauna & hot tub. Bar and dining area all for £10 p/p/p/day but not widely promoted within hotel.
Good value and standard of accommodation, clean throughout, but (as usual) don’t expect any service and attention to detail.
