The hotel itself was very nice . I stayed in a small double room. The shower head had limescale . The bathroom ceiling had a small patch where the paint was coming off.

I’m so disappointed at our stay

I’m so disappointed at our stay Firstly arrived & parked at the rear of the hotel on there own car park. No rear door to use had to walk round with bags. Got into reception & another hotel customer was kicking off over parking chargers. I thought what parking chargers !!!!!!! I thought the hotel car park was free !!!!!! On this site it says car park self park on hotel page & even looking at fees on the app it doesn’t show a charge for the car or say anything until you click show more & then you see it. But you shouldn’t have to search for these things so straight away I’m not happy when at reception I’m told the car park is £15.00 a night & I only have 15 mins from arrival to go & pay it. So then a mad rush leaving my mrs with the bags in the hotel , I had to race back to the car park to pay for the parking. But hold on that’s not the best bit it lists secure parking but no barrier , it looks like the barrier hasn’t been there for a few years now. Plus you can actually park a lot closer to the hotel entrance by parking out the front of the hotel on the council run car park over night for just £3.00 a whole £12.00 cheaper & it’s closer , so guess what you feel a bit ripped of by the hotel charging you £12.00 more. Then there was the noise from the elevator in my sister room 300 or the guy with the jack hammer outside for hours after check in. Plus the very poor maintenance & cleaning standards mold on the ceiling

Hotel is right in the centre of King's Lynn and offers direct access to the Town Centre. The Hotel has charm and the staff are very good, and make the effort to help you relax in your stay at the premises. The Hotel frontage and bar/reception dining areas are of a good quality and are well kept. Sadly the back of the Hotel is slightly dated and the rooms lack one or two of the facilities one would expect from a larger hotel chain, such as a safe in the rooms and packaged soaps, disposable coasters etc. So overall, a good Hotel in the centre of King's Lynn, that will provide you with a pleasant stay during your time in the Town.

The staff were excellent but to room as disappointing. The AC duct was noisy and the finish to the room was cheap and worn. The bed was very comfy.

We did have an issue with the heating in the room, it was freezing, after we complained the manger suggested we went out for a pre booked appointment and upon return he would have it sorted We returned to find the room was still cold, we were immediately offered an upgrade to a much bigger suite in a differing part of the hotel. Well done to the staff

Great centrally located hotel

Nice hotel in the square, centrally located well appointed. Friendly staff. Nice building, clean comfy hotel room. There is apparently new and old part of the hotel. My room was in the new part. TIP: Park in the square at the front of the hotel for £2 overnight. The hotels own car park at the back is £15!
