Spa additional price not stated in hotel.com
All the spa facilities sauna and steam room are not included in the booking via hotel com. When i book the spa, the attendant that serves us were very rude. She said to us, "You have to pay 49 pounds per person " in a tone of voice like we will not be able to afford it. We pay and use the facilities as this is what we aim for doing for our trip. The whole hotel is filled with rude people working there, i say hi to the woman who is doing housing keeping in the morning she look at me and ask me "which room are you coming out from? Is the room clear?' Instead of greeting like a normal person would do.
The beds stinks, and the hotel room has quite a lot of wear and tears. We have a balcony room with the utilita bowl view if you open the window looking outside thats nice view but inside the room, it is low quality cleaniness and the sockets in the headboard area will definitely come off soon if they dont fix it. They allow dogs jumping around, barking like crazy and that causes loads of noise. I didnt feel redted and just keep me awake all night. Have complaint to the reception but no signs of them doing anything

Nice place, but for party noise & money gouging
It’s a nice enough property but there was one major issue and one policy that made in a far less pleasant stay than it might have been.
The issues were Christmas parties on both nights of my stay that lasted until almost 1am. The music was so loud that the party might as well have been in my room. On the first night, the party was followed by the moving of furniture until 2am. The hotel offered no warning about the party at check-in (they claimed it was on their website, but admitted that not everyone books through their website). They could do nothing to alleviate the situation in the moment, and their offer of a mere 20% discount for the first night — when I was deprived of a decent night’s sleep (a fundamental reason for booking a hotel) — was laughable.
The policy complaint is that guests on site do not actually have access even to the sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi in the on site spa without paying additionally (and substantially). Even more ridiculously, booking a massage for over GBP100 *at that same spa* STILL does not actually provide a guest with access to those facilities. It’s truly absurd (and a ripoff).

Disappointing
A bit disappointing. Room was too hot - someone had set the aircon to 28°!
Also, I had checked online and it said that they had Sky Sports in the rooms. They don't. They wouldn't even put it on in the bar for me to watch the football 😭
Also, one usually gets tea, coffee and some biscuits in a hotel room. There was tea and coffee, but it was hidden away in the cupboard, so presumably was free. The only refreshments out in the open were the £1.50 bottles of water.
I expect better for £120ish per night.

The room felt like it could do with a refurb. All taps covered in limescale, loose shower controls. Sealant coming away from the windowsill. Not the quality you would expect from a Hilton hotel.
