Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a great location, perfect for meeting up with friends and close to the wedding venue we were attending. The rooms were clean and tidy, although we had some issues with the warmth and smoke smell. The service was accommodating and friendly, though the lack of a lift was a downside. The dining experience was varied with good choice but some quality issues. The price was considered cheap with some limitations on ingredients quality.
The hotel was quite disappointing overall. The rooms had numerous issues, including a boarded-up window, low water pressure, and outdated, dirty furnishings. Dining wasn't a great experience with unappetizing food options and limited availability. The service was lacking in sympathy and assistance. The location was convenient but needed better maintenance.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was great, with easy access to main roads and ideal for visiting Leeds Castle. The service was friendly but a bit noisy at times. The dining experience had its flaws, particularly with the breakfast options. However, the rooms were not up to standard due to cleanliness issues and a hot, stuffy atmosphere.
