Negative Reviews
negative:
Old and dated
Past guests have said that this hotel is old and dated. The carpets in the lobby appear as though they are decades old and the rooms are starting to look their age. Guests feel as though a thorough renovation should be in order for this hotel.
negative:
Noise from the on-site pub
There have been complaints about noise from the Barking Parrot Pub making its way into the rooms at night. This pub turns into a nightclub and often features musical acts, so there is a fair amount of noise present, especially on weekends.
negative:
Doesn't feel like a resort
Guests have complained that even though this property is marketed as a resort and has a number of amenities, it doesn't have a resort feel to it. This is perhaps because the building is old and tired, or it could be because everything is so spread out around the property.
