Town centre with great/convenient/secure parking in rare. This property also had a foolproof access system using codes...no keys... perfect !! Comfortable bed, very clean with a personal vibe going on.... No fruit tea teas ..... But for what it cost that all is forgiven... especially as the coffee machine was heaven.. well done guys 👍

If all you are after is a room you are in luck
Been staying here since 2015 and its gone downhill, never the same after COVID. Clean enough but just a room with a key lock outside the door, nothing else. Even a few months ago there was breakfast and reception during the day but this stay there was nothing. No reception at check-in or someone there overnight, no bar or breakfast. Front door is left open so anyone could walk in and you let your self into your room with a key code to the key lock outside your door. Not ideal for some single travelers and certainly no deterrent on-site for noisy people staying there. I assume the front door is locked at some point in the evening. I didn't like the lack of any kind of security or personal touch and will look elsewhere next time I visit Taunton. On the plus side there are plenty of dinner and breakfast options nearby.

When you only need a room for the night....
I was down for the cricket and literally just needed a room for the night. I wasn't bothered about needing a hotel with a bar, or a restaurant, or served breakfast in the morning. In that respect, it did the job.

On a day of zero-degree temperatures, our room had no central heating and the entire hotel was unheated. We were told every room had just one portable electric heater...and that "was enough". After 45 minutes of trying to get the room warm, we told the front desk (the only member of staff on site) it was still not warm enough. Rather grudgingly, the he passed my wife one extra heater (half the size of the one in the room) which she had to carry up 4 flights of stairs herself. We went out for dinner (hoping to get warm) and on returning to the room at 8pm, the room was still only just above 15 degrees centigrade. The beds had a thin duvet on them. Having a serious illness and knowing it would be too cold to sleep, we tried to contact the front desk to get some extra blankets but there was no-one available and I think there was probably no member of staff on site at all. The room had been poorly cleaned and prepared (water still in the kettle, a wet bath mat left on the floor) and a lack of quality was evident everywhere (cheap, astringent soap, a barely warm shower with weak pressure, cheap bedding). That anyone can be charged nearly £100 for this experience on a Tuesday night in December, is extraordinary and we will be seeking a full or partial refund. Please avoid until there is evidence of drastic improvements.

Awful customer service- would not recommend
The stay wasn't great, it started with a 15 minute wait for someone to come to reception to check me in only for them to barely apologise for the wait. This was after I had called numerous times, rang the bell (as advised), and even sent a message on hotels.com. Furthermore, I had time to look at which room I was assigned and effectively check myself in before someone came to reception. I was told about breakfast but there was 0 detail provided about price/time/what was provided without asking clarifying questions. I'm glad I didn't go for the breakfast as I never saw anyone in the breakfast area & when I did, they were waiting for the breakfast to be laid out (this was after breakfast was meant to have started). The hot water started to run out mid shower & the bed was extremely soft. The room was also far too warm with only windows to let the hot air out. However, once the curtains were shut, it blocked all the fresh air from coming in. Honestly, go for another hotel as it's really not worth the money

I have all ways enjoyed staying there , The early end to check in , is a problem. The reception agreed to leave a key in a discrete location. They have started chargeing for breakfast, which came as a surprise, so i got a meal deal from Tesco's instead. I all ways ask for a printd receipt on leaving to make sure all room charges have been cleared .

It was cold , the heating was switched on in the morning only after a phone call after 7 am--temperature overnight was 5 degrees! No hot water to shower---barely luke warm. No receptionist on site until 8 am. Called emergency no to request switching on heating which was done. However, subsequent calls to report lack of hot water went unanswered. Reported lack of hot water to receptionist but he did not seem to be interested in resolving the issue---by then it was time for me to leave.
