We stayed here as the airline put us in here after cancelling our flight - these things happen - but we had been in an equivalent hotel elsewhere for the rest of our trip and are pretty easy going as guests so please don’t dismiss this review as from someone unreasonable.

We stayed here as the airline put us in here after cancelling our flight - these things happen - but we had been in an equivalent hotel elsewhere for the rest of our trip and are pretty easy going as guests so please don’t dismiss this review as from someone unreasonable. This is a really really grotty hotel with poor customer service and inadequate facilities. Air conditioning in lobby not adequate, mobile fans all over the place. The room was damp, smelt of it and could feel it. The bathroom wasn’t properly clean and generally the upkeep of the room - paint peeling, marks on walls etc - was well below what you would expect for a hotel of this standard. They couldn’t provide food at lunchtime because they were short staffed. The pool was dirty, and most of the sunbeds were broken. The staff were in the main unhelpful and sullen, it was an exception to get a member of staff who smiled! The room and food was covered by airline but we asked for a later check-out and were happy to pay extra to hold the room before our late flight. However, I’ve now had two separate charges to my credit card, and despite numerous emails requesting the invoice and confirmation of why I have been charged twice, I have had zero response or acknowledgement. I don’t think it was by accident that they have done this and are now ignoring me. However cheap a deal you think you are getting, still, don’t do it. Read less

Was sent here due to flight delays by Virgin Atlantic. Staff didn't have a clue what was happening when we all arrived at 10pm. No food options other than frozen pizza and crisps. Next morning waited several minutes at both reception and coffee counter while staff ignored me and other customers - coffee we just gave up. Pool is tired and old… Read more
Was sent here due to flight delays by Virgin Atlantic. Staff didn't have a clue what was happening when we all arrived at 10pm. No food options other than frozen pizza and crisps. Next morning waited several minutes at both reception and coffee counter while staff ignored me and other customers - coffee we just gave up. Pool is tired and old with rickety and damaged chairs and loungers. - seating areas limited due to parts of hotel cordoned off for no apparent reason. Main grumble is staff who seem like they really don't care ..... and to me that should be the heartbeat of the hotel! PS: We chose to find another hotel close by rather than stay here another night before we caught our delayed flight home. Read less

This Hotel take the deposit for acomodation from your credit card and never return your money to your credit card, you call they many many times and they dont solve the problem, so take care about go to the hotel and provide your cards is preffer make a deposit in cash, but they dont accept cash so I think is a regfular practice of this Hotel

My experience here was mixed room itself was fine. Location good and shuttle and driver are both excellent. The staff were friendly but I was surprised about how liberal the management is and a really bad service episode too. The front desk staff dressed like star wars characters? Should that not be for their own time. Not while on duty? Kind of silly as most proper hotels have dress codes. Likely its just a slide when you don’t pay proper wages you get disinterested kids. I personally blame management and ownership on this. Where is proper training? I was sick one night on a stay here and I called down to speak I guess to a kid on duty (the only one on duty at 2:00 am) and asked for extra water and towels because I was being sick. He said he could not leave his post. He could have pit up a back in 5 sign but again not trained probably and only one on duty. So I slept on the saturated towels on the floor in the washroom. Do I blame him. Not really he is just the symptom of a much bigger problem at this property. Where are the parents and owners..? Maybe the managers are also kids with giant student loans… anyway if you don’t expect much this place might work out for you. On the shuttle leaving was the good part. I hope to never stay here again. Read less
