It's more difficult to give negative reviews, trying to be objective and not sound spiteful.
We could have booked the Travelodge down the road, but this "looked better ", and only (approx) double the price. BOOK and COVER come to mind.
The one star is for the building and setting.
The second star, for the breakfast and staff at breakfast.
It is obviously a popular wedding venue.
On arrival, a joyous wedding party , filled the doorway, the lobby, in front of the reception table and the whole lounge, complete with children doing the metaphoric knee slides.
We joined the queue, to be told that , the previous wedding guests had left so late none of our rooms were ready. So the room we should have had at 2pm, wasn't available until 3.40. Some guests fumed, some stoic, some philosophical. I at this point, mildly annoyed. We were going to be late for our appointment. "Sorry, take a seat", was the receptionist's only comment.
It got irritatingly worse. It felt like the parents had left the children in charge.
Unfortunately they are not worth anymore of my time listing the things that were wrong.
You can't judge a book by it's cover.
