I didn't check my sons room 312 but My Room 306 was not cleaned properly the arm chair cushion was disgustingly dirty ! The cushion was fitted upside down to disguise how dirty it was ! When I lifted it A half smoked spliff was under the cushion ! Bathroom was poor broken bath, broken tiles, broken dirty floor shower hose clip loose and parts missing very disappointed as the photos showed clean rooms that why I booked it felt cheated once I got there
Cushion fitted upside down to cover up how dirty and disgusting the front cover was

Hotel is just starting to come back to life after being used as an emergency accommodation facility. Minimal staff but they were so helpful and friendly. Awful smell in the reception and bar area, suspect carpet needs a professional clean….and the vacuum cleaner they’re using needs changing as it’s pumping put stinky air. Shame, as the OPL was a truly prestigious hotel once, beautiful building, I really truly hope she can recover and get her former glory and reputation back.

Building and gardens were lovely. However, our room was absolutely boiling hot and when staying with an infant, made us very uncomfortable. There was no fan provided, the windows barely opened and to cool my son down, we had to put his travel cot into a bathroom. The lifts were out of use and no ground floor rooms were available, despite us making it clear we had an infant on the booking and would need a pram. The corridors were very narrow and when making our way to our room, it was very difficult with an infant, all the bags and other people having to all use one staircase. My partner was certain he saw breakfast included in the price, but no mention at the hotel either.

The room stank of thick smoke, I was placed on the top floor despite having lots of bags. The front gate was locked so I had to walk through the dark car park to get access to the building
