First of all, the good bits. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful, giving me an upgrade on my room, helping to carry my luggage and showing me to the room, all without being asked. The room was a little tired in places, but otherwise big, nice and clean, good bathroom and well equipped (including microwave, fridge, iron and trouser press). The bed was comfortable and I had a reasonable night sleep. Now for the not so good. The outside is very shabby (the photos on-line are from better days), some of the corridors are also shabby and dirty. Some of the staff were busy tidying the garden (great), however cutting tree stumps with a chainsaw beyond 7:30pm isn’t particularly relaxing for the guests. Perhaps it would have been better to work on some quieter activities, like picking up litter in the carpark and weeding the very untidy flowerbeds under the annex windows and save the chainsaw work for the next day before check in time. The lads on a very noisy motorbike, visiting a guest a number of times during the evening and then leaving at 1 AM while revving the bike vigorously in the carpark and laughing loudly, then thundering up and down Brooklands Road while repeatedly sounding the horn isn’t great for the other guest’s sleep (or the neighbours). Improved and proactive security would also therefore be a good idea. A kettle in the bedroom would also have been good as heating mugs of water in the microwave could be dangerous.
