I cannot call this cheap and cheerful because it was actually neither.
It cost £175 before some kind of discount so I paid £148. I thought the price included breakfast - it did not though reviews on the website mention a great breakfast there is none.
I NEVER EVER book a hotel without breakfast and I do not cope without it, so something must have led me to believe that breakfast was included.
The room was very shabby, tired, the bathroom just not up to scratch and I would much rather have stayed at a Premier Inn.
I am so disappointed that I have not been able to contact Hotels.com to discuss my booking, post trip, that once my review is posted, I will cancel my account with them and NEVER use them again.
I literally selected the hotel purely based on location because of where we travelled to and from and because I currently have some mobility issues and was expecting a budget hotel, not 4 star luxury. But it did fall very short of my expectations and then to have no breakfast!
to be fair, the staff were accommodating and helpful about the rucksacks we wanted to leave both before we'd checked in and after we had checked out.
In summary, I am truly hacked off with hotels.com and feel I was misled when making the booking but have no way of contacting them or proving this.
I was disappointed with the hotel itself which fell below my expectations - which weren't high anyway, and would never in a million years use this hotel again.
