Guests staying in rooms adjacent to the kitchens and bar area occasionally complained of noise and cooking smells from the pub interrupting their sleep.

There were also claims of thin walls allowing neighbors to be heard together with noisy plumbing.
According to reviewers, the cheapest standard rooms at this property, which use shared bathroom facilities, were some way below the quality of the en suite and deluxe rooms. Some visitors called them dingy or cramped; others refused to stay in them altogether citing dated décor, small showers, mold in bathrooms, dim lighting and minor cleanliness grumbles.
Some visitors described further aspects of the property needing an update to address reported issues like dark corridors, patchy free Wi-Fi coverage and aging carpets.
