Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms, while not renovated and featuring an old style with some food stains on the walls, are still okay despite the issues with the door lock. The service varied from friendly, helpful, and efficient to looking miserable and requiring clarification of the booking process, with noticeable delays upon arrival. The location is ideal for reaching specific destinations but further out of town than expected. The dining offered diverse selections, although some items like salty scrambled eggs were not enjoyable. Additional positive aspects include a fantastic design and easy access to university and cathedral, while negative aspects involve delayed service and unexpected room conditions.
The hotel was comfortable and had all the necessary facilities. The breakfast was satisfying with fresh options, and the menu offered good choices. However, being woken up early by noisy children was a downside. A nice improvement from a previous stay at another location.
The hotel has comfortable and clean rooms, but the finishes feel a bit lacking. The service was eager to help, yet had some minor issues in billing and room allocation. The location is convenient for visiting the university and hospital, but noise from other guests can be bothersome. The dining options are varied, with friendly staff, but room service could use improvement.
The hotel offers spacious, clean, and comfy rooms, but some areas need refreshing. The service is polite and helpful, with a minor issue regarding female staff. Location is convenient with good access to attractions, though the heating can be inadequate in cold weather. The dining experience is varied but could improve freshness. The facilities are commendable overall.
The hotel offers rooms at a good price, although they could do with redecorating and the finishes seem a little outdated. The location is convenient, close to various establishments and activities, but slightly off the beaten track. The dining experience is enjoyable with many choices, yet slightly expensive. The service is friendly, but there were moments of disinterest. Overall, a mixed experience with its ups and downs.
The hotel is in a convenient location near the university of Surrey, great for those wanting easy access to A3. The rooms are spacious and quiet, although they are a bit dated and could use a refresh. The service was mostly friendly and welcoming, with some minor mishaps.
