My review is a negative because of additional service charges on absolutely every transaction, this was an audacity from the point that we were fetching our own drinks from the bar, it wasn't table service. Expensive drinks. Carling at £5.50 per pint and then the hotel 10% on top. So every round of drinks bought carried another 10% for no-one doing anything more basic than serving behind a bar.. To add insult to this injury the hotel goes on to add extra service gratuity for the staff when you check out!!! I would direct you to these extras of which nothing was mentioned in my confirmation booking email. I have included the view from Room 11, depicted as a superior room. The extractor fan and rooftop. The noise from the extractor fan started from 6:30 AM on all the 3 mornings we were there and whilst it stopped at 7 pm on our first night was still whirring away at 22.30pm on the second. Before unpacking our suitcases I had returned to reception to raise my concern. I assumed that the person who I was talking to was either the hotel manager or the establishment owner. She had little or no interest in me as a guest with her response to absolve the hotel because it was being renovated. Well an extraction fan and a roof are permanent fixtures and were outside the window of Room 11. Her reply was no better regarding Room 12 where my brother had checked into. His bill came to over £600 for the 3 nights and his view was of a dormer window not more than 3 foot opposite that had bright blue tarpaulin flapping around it, the same rooftops and scaffolding. Not a green tree or blade of grass in sight. This was supposed to be an executive suite. He complained that there was a constant humming sound throughout the night. Sundries, 3 sample size of the basic bath, shampoo, conditioner but these were not replenished after day one. The hand soap in the dispenser wouldn't foam up which left us wondering whether it was watered down. The beds were made but our bathroom was not cleaned on day 2. No biscuits, but tea, coffee, sugar and milk. Was it clean, to be fair it was, spotlessly. Did the general staff work hard. To be fair one's we saw did, yes, but were always managing on their own. Ample parking, yes, that wasn't an issue. Was breakfast good, to be fair, yes, the bacon was very tasty as was the black pudding. Did we eat in the restaurant, no because I have no problem with rewarding good service but I felt this hotel management exploited every opportunity to add service charges and that spoilt our stay and is my biggest grumble.
