Town centre stay

This was the second time we've stayed at this hotel. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. Rooms are spacious and clean, and it's always good to have a walk in shower. Location is perfect, right in the centre of Darlo with plenty of choice for bars and restaurants.

Really nice place to stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The window in the room was a little loose, so the room stayed quite cool.

First experiences of staying

I was upgraded from a standard room to wedding suite which I thought was great but the drain on shower was broken. The cleanliness wasn’t good behind tv was thick dust and cobwebs. The complementary dressing gown was dirty and the shower soaked the bathroom floor. Rug was dirty and breakfast was rubbish. Chocolate muffin was rock hard. No choice for hot chocolate. The room phone wasn’t working so needed to call from mobile. And just handed keycard without being told where the room even was or given any information about breakfast time. This was for my wedding day and night so wouldn’t recommend staying there

No hot water and noisy

"Hot" water in the bathroom was barely warmer than the cold, making a shower unbearable. Lots of noise from TVs in neighbouring rooms, doors slamming, and housekeeping banging on doors at 8am

4 night business trip

Room was not very warm in this very cold snap weather. Decoration getting a bit tired could do with a refresh. Breakfast is not the best, cheap sausage, fatty bacon, dry scrambled egg. However thevroom was clean and decent sized tv. Strange foisty smell in the corridor after leaving lift to 3rd floor. The price i paid was not bad to be fair. But onthe last night (Thursday) therecwas banging and clatteing of furniture from around midnight until around 2am. Workmen doing whatever they were doing and disturbing my rest.

Check in was quick, parking available, they have about 18 spaces under the hotel. Room kept warm, clean and breakfast was fine. Central location so easy to walk to everything in the centre.
