Would Stay Again.
We stayed here because it was Dog friendly. Overall, I would say we had an excellent stay. The hotel is true to its description of Dog friendly, although tou can’t eat in the restaurant with them (which is reasonable). There were a lot of families with dogs and they were made very welcome. The bar was also child friendly with toys and games available. The only thing that stopped me giving 5 stars was that one of us is a vegetarian and there were no items available from the tapas menu, which was disappointing and reduced the options available.

The rooms are spacious, and the breakfast offers a good variety of food. The staff are polite and this about summarises all the positives. The carpets in the rooms and corridors are old and worn, giving the hotel an outdated and dirty feel. Carpet in the room felt and looked dirty. The biggest issue was the lack of USB plugs, which is unacceptable for a 4-star hotel. We only had a charging cable and were disappointed to find no USB options—just a limited, old fuse boxes. Instead, the hotel offered a machine at reception to buy a charger, which was nothing more than a cash grab. Majority of the amenities need to be updated to meet modern standards. No TV or a safe in the room - not a major issue for us but felt odd for a hotel that advertises itself as a 4-star.

Dirty towel
Hotel was booked for convience and had used before. Booking in was straight forward. Room was closer to reception this time which was great. The only issue was that one large towel looked dirty like it had make up on with mascara. We did try to ring reception but the phone in the room didn’t work and when rang the hotel from my mobile it cut of twice after a long while no body answering . That was disappointing when was told any problems to call them. Yes I could off gone to reception , but I had had my shower and didn’t want to get dressed again to go out the room. Also there was no one at reception when we left early morning

The room we booked was unavailable and the reception staff offered nothing as an apology, only blaming it on Expedia. The room was in poor repair (sockets not working / bedside lamp with no bulb and taped over). There was a beeping from the corridor all night which resulted in a poor nights sleep.

Christmas parties more important than guests sleep
My overnight stay with my family was ruined as they had a Christmas party in a function suite right under our bedroom and played loud music until midnight. My son has special needs and got more distressed the later it got and he couldn’t get to sleep. When I explained this to the manager she said there was nothing she could do and couldn’t ask them to turn it down or stop early
