Unfortunately, I agree with other reviewers who say that the whole place is a bit tired. We stayed in room 227 for a weekend away visiting Winchester and to be honest, the room was a little shabby. Tiles hanging off the walls in the bathroom, with ingrained mould stains on the sealant, the shower was pretty pitiful, toilet seat slightly loose etc. The room itself wasn't too bad, but the decor is a bit dated. The dining area of the hotel is also a bit shabby, with all the window frames peeling or showing signs of significant wear, it was also really dark, the lighting is poor. At breakfast, staff could do a better job of policing the food self-service area, several times I saw children picking food up with their fingers and putting it back (bacon, sausages, cheese etc) and we all know children can be a little lax on hygiene! I don't mind children being around (we came away without our two), but we had an especially rowdy crowd one morning and staff could have seated older guests away in another section, rather than together. I feel the place just lacked an experienced Maitre d' who would naturally know how to sort all these issues and keep staff vigilant. Agree with other reviewers that this place needs to decide what it wants to be, because at the moment it was no better than staying in a Travelodge, in fact I've had nicer rooms in Travelodge's at half the price. Positives are that all the staff were really friendly, couldn't fault their overall attitude and location is good.

Disappointed
We stayed one night in a standard King room. The air con and radiator were not working so could not change the temperature in the room. Thankfully it was not cold outside. Bed was comfortable with a topper on it, but in the morning showed signs of sagging in the middle of each half. Bathroom. Plus side, plenty of hot water and a decent sized bath. Negative - extractor fan didn't work so the room very steamy. We reported the issues with the front desk and was told they would report it to maintenance. Evening meal was ok but didn't come up to the expectation of the description. Overall, the hotel is tired, the staff not very attentive except a student waitress who was very good. We will not stay here again even though it would be very handy for our needs.
