"This time around it wasn’t as good as my previous stay at this place, sorry to say but the first room i was given room 410 didn’t have any WiFi, the curtains were broke and wouldn’t close also with the room not having double glazing windows and being level to the busy main road the car noises are so loud and not possible to have a good nights sleep! After i complained about this i was given a room in the main building room 134 on the far side however the WiFi didn’t work properly here either so i wasn’t able to do any work on my laptop also the room wasn’t cleaned properly as the tea cups had lipstick and tea stains from previous customers. The bathroom wasn’t cleaned either the shower drips all night and doesn’t shut off properly and saying it was 3 degrees in the night the heater was turned off even though to the morning! Was a very good nights sleep! The only positive is the spa area is lovely and there lots of parking. "

"Great location but hotel is badly let down by poor room. We had a shower which didn’t drain therefore flooded the bathroom also the sink didn’t drain. The wardrobe was very difficult to close, the WiFi was weak so could not get connected. The decor was scruffy and we could not get the heating to work. There was a portable radiator so suspect this was a previous issue. Very disappointed overall as you can guess. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was ok"

"Complicated and restrictive system for booking the swimming pool, only 8 persons allowed. Car parking very limited with surrounding car parks very expensive. Bathroom dangerous, there is a desperate need for hand rails, it’s an accident waiting to happen climbing out of the bath. The sofa beds in the rooms are very uncomfortable and desperately need the mattresses replaced. Location superb and very handy for the train and venues like The Crucible. Good pricing structure."

"Our room was tired. It had stained ceiling tiles, fraying carpet on the entrance to the ensuite, stained carpet, mini fridge inoperative. In addition to the above, the hotel was undergoing renovation in the lobby area, the breakfast was very poor value for money. Overall, a poor visitor experience. "

"I had stayed here previously a few years ago and was surprised to find how run down this hotel was. The layout of reception etc… had changed now requiring going up and down lots of stairs. Our beds had seen better days. The paint was peeling off our bathroom door and the television unit. The shower was freezing and shot water all over the bathroom floor. Breakfast was welcome to the 70’s era. Stale cornflakes and tinned mandarins. My husband ordered Eggs Benedict off the made to order menu and the eggs were rock solid. Totally inedible. We won’t be returning. "

"The room was fine clean and tidy, a bit scruffy in places but not dirty. Water pressure in the shower was awful but apart from that it's fine"

"Stayed here for a wedding as a family of four. Very nice room, a little bit on the expensive side but weighing up a taxi home 40 miles and breakfast it worked out about the same. Breakfast was very good. The drinks at the bar were a bit on the expensive side at £8 a pint but what can you do "

"Lovely stay in a lovely location, really handy for the town centre. Will stay again "
