will do and I am doing this again. (97525660)

positive comments From start to finish everything was first class - As an individual away for a Christmas Shopping trip I felt most secure.
negative comments None really - to nit pic and I am sure if I asked these points would have been resolved. Only 2 pillows on Double Bed - fine for 1 person and several light bulbs were not working.

LORRAINE from TURRIFF, GB (Group of adult friends) 20 August 2008

very reasonable but really spoiled due to items missing from room. (107204855)

positive comments the cost of the stay was extremely reasonable. breakfast was adequate, reception staff were pleasant. reception area clean and tidy.
negative comments things went missing from our room (pakcet of chocolate biscuits opened and two taken out, bottle of sprite, two or three mini packets of chocolate hobnobs. I know this may sound petty but it made us wonder if our other propery was being looked at. Recported this to reception who reported to housekeeper. Whilst the receptionist apologised I did expect to hear from the housekeeper to ask for more details etc. Heard nothing - was this taken seriously or ignored?? Did not leave a good impression whatsoever. Room was in need of decoration - splashes of some kind of liquid on walls, paint scratched on other parts, carpet dirty in parts.

It was a very pleasant stay. Good to have a restaurant and pub nearby so people don't have to go too far if on a short stay. The Metro Centre was walking distance which was handy. The hotel was nicely kept which is always very important and will obviously leave a lasting impression when thinking about future visits. The staff were helpful and friendly, there was more than one person on reception which I always think is good, nothing worse than having to hang around. Overall a very nice stay. (97397446)

positive comments Wasn't too fussy but clean and tidy, comfortable. Staff were helpful and we were very glad we could order drinks at the residents bar until quite late. This is a nice touch for people that would like to relax in the bar or in their rooms.

I found the lighting in the room rather too subdued. Even when all five lights were on it would be too dull to read unless directly under one of the halogen spots. (99626508)
