"Family room" is just a double room with two singles crammed in. Midday checkout, went for a coffee at 10am, returned at 11am but the staff had cleared my colleague's room and take their bag to reception??? Air con barely doing anything, room right next to a main road so cant open window unless you wanna wake up at 5am to passing trucks. Also had to pay for parking and had to download another app to do so.
We paid a higher cost for a higher spec room.
The hotel is right beside a large park and ride, easy to find.
We arrived at 16.30 on a Friday and was surprised the carpark was mostly empty.
Check in was easy and the carparking was explained.
Horizon parking manage the site, its £7.20 for 48 hours, add in 40p for txt confirmations.
If you have the app its easy, but simpler still if you use the pay machine outside the entrance left side.
There's a bus stop opposite Canning Crescent, 2 mins away, all buses stop here going into the city for a 10 minute ride.
The room.. very clean and tidy, but smaller than expected, upgrades here were based on original rooms, so no fridge or free +30 min Internet, but still good.
We had a problem with a toilet flush button - disappeared into the void.. but the duty manager Rudi was extremely helpful in changing rooms for us.
If you have a car its easier to stay out of town, we bused in but its a 30min walk (past 2pubs).
The duty manager was very helpful with our booking and facilitated a change request without quibble. The other staff were as equally helpful and cheerful, especially Santos. Overall they made our stay easy with the service being above our expectations.
Room no. 10 smelled like a wet dog. The window was open. The room was freezing. The AC was not working. No phone in the room to call reception.
Room change requested. Now room no. 14. No problem with smell. AC still not working. No phone to call reception. At reception I felt no consideration for comfort or care. I was given an electric heater for the room. When opening the bed to sleep, my bed had two mattress covers and no sheet. I had to make the bed myself.
This is not the type of experience I would expect from a hotel
Bar is small but reasonably stocked. Staff polite too.
Only issue was that the cooler unit in the room was not working and it was very hot a humid. The staff member was great and lent me a desk fan which made it more bearable
