“Website misleading - awful hotel”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 07/04/2012

OK so i was extremely excited to visit this hotel with my partner for his birthday weekend after viewing it's very appealing website and looking at the hotels pictures of the rooms etc. When we arrived and were taken to our room which was the flintstones room, wow, i cannot describe how upset i was with the poor state of the room. Nothing like what the pictures portrayed and i honestly felt that we had been ripped off. The bath area was tired and paint coming off. The furnishings were cheap and nothing like what the website described. The head board (faux rug) over our bed was held on with blu-tac and kept falling off. The carpet was stained and looked awful, again nothing like the website advertised. The room did not meet any of my expectations. I thought at least we were going to get what we paid for as this hotel's rates were very high, but no, we got a tatty, old, smelly little room with a few cheap and tacky furnishings. Shameful.

The hotel itself was so so small and the pool area was half the size of the actual pictures. The fountain area outside had no water in and looked terrible. This hotel seriously needs to review it's room's before charging so much. I am not a fussy person nor do i normally give bad reviews, but i can safely say that if you book a room in this hotel, prepare to be disapointed. Never again.
