I had left a pair of trousers in my room and only realised when I got home. I spoke to Beth on reception and they arranged postage and returned them back to me. Excellent service!

We got a great welcome on arrival. Staff were really helpful. The pool is very nice in particular with the outside deck area. The dining room is also lovely with super accommodating staff - we felt very welcome with all of our children. The food was great especially the fish and chips.

Good hotel in a good location, pool and gym very nice. Could hear music from the clubs opposite so would pick the tree lined room next time. Great breakfast for coeliacs (separate toaster), but cheaper to pay at hotel rather than in advance.

Disappointed

Disappointing. Room was spacious but tired, dusty and there was mould in the bathroom. Air conditioning wasn't working so the room was hot and uncomfortable. They provided a fan instead when we complained, which didn't really help. Have previously stayed in various Park Plazas elsewhere so expected a similar standard.
