The hotel is suppose to be under refurbishment, it seems to have stopped for some reason.We called in to this hotel last easter for a drink and seen that it was getting a big refurb, so booked for this Easter 2026 arrived to the shock of, You park in the underground car park and get to reception and then asked for 28 pounds for 2 nights parking at the hotel, total extortionate price, as now the Adjoining underground carpark is privately owned by some other company.Always was free just adds a big chunk onto your Easter break. The hotel is very run down in all areas,it once was a very pleasent hotel, and we hope it will return this way someday, but we wont unfortunately be back to stay here as you have far nicer hotels for around the same price, also without the rip off car parking price. We will say the breakfast was very nice. But sadly a shadow of the hotel that it used to be .

The hotel is under refurbishment (however it has halted and 3 years in no work was being undertaken during our stay). The room was a family room (as I was travelling with my daughter and grand daughter) and can only be described as grubby...the walls and the furniture both dirty. The bathroom skirting dirty with dust. In the recent heat we were provided with a totally inadequate fan, replaced after a conversation with the manager. In fairness he understood our disappointment with the "surprise" of the refurbishment. However the tired and worn state of everything is unacceptable if you are still "open for business" during this lengthy refurbishment. The lift mirrors were scratched, the furniture in the temporary bar area dirty and worn. We chose not to eat breakfast in the hotel so can't comment on it. We did have an evening meal (complimentary) and we all enjoyed it very much. We did not require parking so cannot comment on that. My overall impression was of disappointment. Having stayed in The City previously it was my immediate choice. However had I been informed when booking that a refurbishment was underway I would have chosen to book elsewhere in this occasion.
