First stay here. Probably unlikely to return. Staff were very welcoming and helpful and we like the Laura Ashley decor which feels homely to us. The building is clearly very old and we expect quirks because of this. However, we weren t prepared for how tired it all felt.
We chose a suite on line and we were allocated Park Lane. Room was a good size and the bed was large and comfortable if not a bit on the soft side. Bathroom is a good size but the bath is short and the taps don t really work right. There is a ridiculously space age toilet which sadly didn t work and so is just small and uncomfortable.
Quirks. When someone walks across the room above, the chandelier in Park Lane tinkles . Sound proofing, not so much.
Hotel had a football team in and a lot of focus was on them.
Good points. Car parking. Good service in the bar after midnight. Kindly organised taxis and not at some inflated rate.
Bad points. Clearly overstretched the kitchen for breakfast. Lovely young waitress struggled to serve our room while I guess the focus was on the football team next door. Just lacked the crispness of most competitors.
