Moat house
The aircon was broken and the outside area resembled a scrap yard. Not sure if the place was being referbished but did not see any skips.

Disapointing
Very disappointing. Turned up about 10pm to many lights not functioning properly in the car park. Smooth check in but rooms are very tired and discoloured. Air con does not work. Breakfast very disappointing too.

The hotel itself was good. While it is a bit dated, we got two rooms that were adjoining. The temperature was not great. The breakfast was over priced for what we got.

Unusual place, but decent for being a budget hotel. Food quality for dinner was surprisingly good, buffet breakfast food quality was low, but if you don't mind about lower quality and are more interested in a large breakfast then you will be happy. For me, the bedroom temperature was set far to high.

Long way to go Hotel!
Flooded car park but nothing new for this hotel even when it was the Hilton.. Many years of this. New reception area, clean and inviting but after leaving there the best way of describing the hotel is run-down and shoddy, which needs lots of work carried out quickly in the stairways (distinct smell of damp), hallways and rooms. The room we had looked like there had been a flood in the bathroom with the bath panel curling up, the door splitting and peeling, the shower is about 20 years old, random brackets left on the wall which I guess were old towel rails but who knows? The room felt old and well used (mind you this hotel was used as an immigration refugee hotel until recently!) Getting a taxi from the hotel and back was a nightmare because firms did not know it had open its doors to the public again instead of temporary housing for other people! When taxi were sourced, the reputation of the hotel was lower than a snakes belly because of the people that were there! Not a good start in anyway for the hotel and if they don't announcing they are open as a normal hotel again with paying customers this will not be open for long. A lot of work to be done with the local companies i.e. taxi companied etc and loads of work internally urgently required to make it a place you want to stay at or even recommend.

Our room was an executive room so we expected it to be nice! We were above a pub, which played loud banging music until gone midnight, I’ve been in quieter nightclubs! The worse part was they started the music again at 6.30am!! No one wants to be woken up to people blaring out sweet Caroline at 6.30 on a Sunday morning! Totally disrespectful

People smoking outside windows until 1am, car park flooded to get to my vehicle on leaving. Someone took a number 2 in the hallway of hotel outside rooms and this was left there for considerable time. Guessing this hotel is being used to house immigrants/probation adults.

The hotel was clean and smart, the dining options were excellent and the food absolutely delicious. Staff were friendly. The room was clean and well equipped. Bathroom also nice and clean. The bed was a little uncomfortable but not terribly so. Unfortunately it was a very warm September weekend. The first night the room was unbearably got even with the window open as the air con wasn't working and the heating was on. We reported this to reception and asked if there was at least a fan. Unfortunately this wasn't provided and the AC wasn't fixed, we were told it was out on the entire side of the hotel our room was on, they had at least turned the heating off but it was still unpleasant warm even with having left the windows open. This did mean we didn't sleep at all well especially as the noise was excessive from parties and people coming and going from the hotel. The TV also wasn't tuned in so we couldn't even watch TV to pass the night and even though it was a smart TV it wasn't connected to the internet so we couldn't even cast to the TV from our devices. Hopefully the renovation work they are doing will fix these issues soon.
