Reviews and Ratings
I found my stay at the hotel to be a mix of lovely and not so great experiences. The rooms were beautiful and comfy, but there was a bit of a gloomy atmosphere and some cleanliness issues with dirty plates left around. The service was a bit off-balance concerning available ports, yet the staff were exceptionally helpful and went the extra mile to assist us. The location was comfortable and ideal for visiting my granddaughter at the university, although it was challenging to find a quiet area. The dining options were disappointing for the caliber of the hotel, featuring limited choices without much variety. In terms of facilities, there were both positives and negatives to consider.
The hotel offers modern and spotless rooms, but the weak toilet flush was a downside given the room's cramped feel for the price. The service was friendly and pleasant, though there were suggestions for improving food presentation. The location is convenient for visiting Lancaster University but lacks nearby dining options within walking distance. The dining experience was fairly typical with some disappointment. The hotel provides a cozy atmosphere with great facilities like a pool and clean surroundings.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with beautiful linen and a pleasant atmosphere. The friendly staff is accommodating, although some areas like the rooms may need a bit of refreshment. The location is ideal for visiting Lancaster University, and the dining experience is satisfying despite some room for improvement in gluten-free options.
