Staff were sympathetic, but were unable to remedy it.

Hand held part of shower was very leaky at the connection between hose and shower head

Something broken in the room13 of 2921 in 22 reviews
We tried to turn on the AC but the thermostat was not working.
Google, March 2026, rated 3/5 by this guest
A fault with the desk light switch (meaning it was constantly on) was reported on the second day, but never got fixed.

Heating and air conditioning12 of 2921 in 24 reviews
The room was extremely hot, especially the bathroom.
Booking network, September 2026, rated 6/10 by this guest
Only one star lost as I was a bit warm in the room and it lacked natural light so getting made up for the evening was a little challenging!
Tripadvisor, May 2026, rated 4/5 by this guest
Wi-Fi10 of 2921 in 29 reviews
Our only minor complaint was that the Wi-Fi was not working, which made communicating with my work office very difficult.
Tripadvisor, February 2026, rated 4/5 by this guest
That said, I would have rated the hotel closer to a 3-star experience due to the extremely slow Wi-Fi, which caused problems for me as I rely on a strong connection for work.

A facility closed7 of 2921 in 42 reviews
Bar closed at 11am and food at 10pm on England football night.

Nothing at all other than they would close the Terrace early- before 10.30pm which was a shame when the weather was so good!

A physical hazard6 of 292 reviews
This is BY FAR the worst hotel I have ever stayed at - we were away and when we came back, it turned out our room was flooded from upstairs.
Tripadvisor, July 2026, rated 1/5 by this guest
Someone fell ill1 of 292 reviews
We went to breakfast on the first day and my wife, who is pregnant, got sick (probably from the bad meat that was of horrible quality) so for the rest of our stay we had to find other options, even though we paid for the breakfast with out booking.
Google, September 2026, rated 1/5 by this guest
Something stolen1 of 292 reviews
To say that the stay at this hotel was horrible doesn't do it justice - we got robbed because our room was one of the many that got flooded and the hotel staff left all of them open, for anybody to access, without anyone monitoring the situation.
