Review Score: 4

Summary: Il start by saying if this hotel was minimum £50 cheaper it would have gotten 3 possibly even 4 stars. But very dated, rooms clearly cleaned but just very scruffy. Paint chipped holes in wall and carpets stained and shower leaked. Pool needs a lot of tlc. Booking states you have full access to facilities but you don't as you cannot access the main area with the good steam rooms and sauna etc. For the meal, again if it was significantly cheaper I'd say it was good, but for £130 for the two of us the standard of the food was really really below oar when you compare where else you could spend that kind of money and probably should. Staff were nice, but I definitely would not be returning unless they look at their prices. If I were you and thinking of booking I'd be looking elsewhere where even a travel lodge or premier inn for the much cheaper prices or if wanting to spend over £150 a night there are much much much better hotels out there at that price.
