"I just wasn’t satisfied with the Hotel itself. No spoon to stir my tea/coffee with (in the room) No initial towels (even though I asked for extra and they replied promptly) It’s a decent place once you arrive and looks nice but I ended up finding someone else’s underwear in my room. Had to call front desk for towels Shower head was taped down (was leaking from the sides). Very boring room, unappealing but the view was probably the best. The bed felt nice. Granted they are under renovation but you’d think they would take extra care of those staying there. Not just some £10 voucher. The worst is the keys. Hated opening my own hotel room because you have to Jimmy it a few times. Don’t like the big hall pass attachment to the key either. Doesn’t fit in pockets or anything I look forward to the new improvements and will not be staying unless I stay in a new bedroom."

"Very rude bar staff! I politely asked if I could watch the England Women 's World Cup football semi final match at about midday when the pub opened. There was only one other customer in the entire pub. The staff member 's reply was a curt 'No '. Not 'sorry, we don 't show sport here ' or whatever (I can 't think why they wouldn 't but I know some pubs have a policy on that). The match was on BBC1 so it 's nothing to do with not having a sky subscription. Just a straight 'No '! I then asked if the answer would be the same had it been the men 's England team but she didn 't reply. I wonder why? Maybe because the likelihood is it would be shown and the pub would be bedecked in England flags and bunting with the obligatory bouncy castle for the kids? I know for a fact that Rugby and Wimbledon tennis is shown there (it 's on their Facebook page) so maybe they think football would attract the 'wrong sort of people '? I 'm having to guess all this because the only word uttered was 'No '. Needless to say I left. Perhaps the manager could reply to this and give a reason? I 'm sure others would be interested. It couldn 't surely be a simple case of women 's football being seen as unimportant? I mean those days are over aren 't they?"
