    I did not like to have to pay for parking and the menu in the restaurant was too limited. It was also a bit further from the airport that I had envisaged

    The room was spacious althought the bathroom was a little small. The accommodation was modern and up to date. The restaurant had plenty of seating and the staff were attentive.

    Just the cleanliness of the room in general Also wasn’t asked if we would like to pay for parking £12 just automatically added to our bill, had we been asked we would have found alternative parking, Also drug dealers using the car pat up at the top end was very obvious even with security guard standing watching

    Pool was lovely and clean, All communal areas were clean but missing attention to detail in our room, upon pulling out the sofa bed it seemed it hadn’t been changed since last use I found a clean sheet in the wardrobe and quilt which I changed as there was blood stains on quilt,

    The steam room was not at the temperature we expected it to be, it was very low. Kids slept on sofa bed, it was okay but not great, maybe an extra layer for comfort would be required.

    We liked the rooms, breakfast area and food.

    A couple of things 1. The water pressure in the shower was very low. 2. Had to pay £12 for parking even though I was staying there. 3. Had to take own towels or from the room when using the swimming pool.

    Clean, comfortable, and friendly staff. Conveniently located with good size car park. Nice breakfast.

    When I first got the the room it wouldn't lock. We literally pushed the door open without the key card. I reported it to reception after trying to lock it. But it started working just before the maintenance person came. It felt like he was calling us liars. The door was fine for the rest of the weekend

    Room was comfy and spacious. The shuttle bus was extremely useful when it was running. Reception was really nice and a manager was super kind to me on Monday when she found me waiting for the shuttle (it wasn't running but I didn't know). I tend to recommend this hotel to friends

    Hot tub & steam room weren't working at time of stay. Shuttle bus to airport wasn't running, which was part of the reason this hotel was chosen. Alternative wasn't offered. Restaurant food could have been better quality. Long wait for bar staff to be in attendance.

    Close to airport. Lovely room. Leisure facilities. Very clean & comfortable. Great bathroom. Design style of hotel. Parking facilities for trip away.

    Two additional events were booked during crufts a boxing match and ladies day. The noise prevented sleep and the people attending the event (not staying in the hotel) were highly intoxicated and rude. Why do this? Complaining to reception met with nothing but sorry here's some ear plugs. Food in the restaurant was awful. Really poor quality ingredients and choices. Also as everyone staying in the hotel was there for crufts why not put it on the TV? I had to ask every night. No one cares about the antiques road show! We almost missed best in show,!!!

    As I was attending Crufts as an exhibitor I was pleased to see so many dogs and owners at the hotel. The hotel embraced crufts. The pool was nice to relax on after a hard day. Breakfast was very good. The bar staff excellent fun.
