Brayford Pool: Touren und Aktivitäten

Check in at this pub-with-rooms almost didn’t happen as, after being told for 9 minutes by staff that “someone” was coming to hand over the room key, I was ready to walk out and find somewhere else. Eventually the unapologetic omanager arrived and issued me with a key to a room in a terrace of rooms down the side of the car park. I checked for CCTV cameras as the area did not look that secure, there were plenty of them which was a relief. The room was OK, the bed looked clean though the carpet was not and the bathroom ceiling had barely-concealed mould above the shower. Dinner was good, and the service was so much better than I had expected following the experience with the manager. Picking out a knife and fork from the cutlery drawer showed knives with congealed food on them and grubby forks so the dishwasher needs some training. The table was sticky, and the napkin ended up being bonded on a molecular level with the surface, I really could not pick it all off. It’s standard pub fare with plenty of high-calorie fried or grilled options and a good selection of non-alcoholic beers. Just wash your hands AFTER eating. Breakfast was a different story with good service and staff who at least gave the impression that they were happy to be there. If you’re looking for somewhere cheap and handy for the M1, it’s a good place to stay. I slept well at least. If you’re looking for some refinement and comfort you’d be advised to look elsewhere. I wish I had.

This website says there is a restaurant and shows photos of breakfast and dining facilities. I only book hotels that do breakfast. The restaurant is closed and they do not do breakfast. This website misled me. As a result I needed to go out and purchase breakfast for my family. The receptionist I dealt with was very helpful. He should be commended for doing his best in difficult circumstances. 1. Three fresh large red/orange stains on the carpet. I came in for early check in. These stains were clearly from the night before. The cleaners had tried to clean them but they were still very visible. I asked the receptionist to send the cleaners back, which he said he did. Unfortunately, they couldn't get rid of the stains. 2. Food stuffs (crisps/similar) between the beds. 3. Coffee stains on the wall above the single bed. 4. The decorative cushions on the bed were insanitary. 5. Two of the four glasses provided were dirty. 6. One of the bedside lights had a missing bulb. 7. Broken TV. Missing power cable and remote control. Receptionist found us a new TV and explained it appeared previous guests appeared to have broken/stolen things. This should have been identified when the room was being prepared. I will not be returning.

Einfache aber praktische Einrichtung. Sauber. Rezeption könnte einen Tresen vertragen
