Nice hotel but don't get front room.

1 night stay. Get together with friends. Good location, easy check in and room was nice and clean. Had room the front of hotel and it was very hot overnight so didn't sleep very well. Early morning road sweeper and delivery trucks meant very early morning wake up call. Later found out there was a cool air fan in the wardrobe!

Town centre stay

This was the second time we've stayed at this hotel. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. Rooms are spacious and clean, and it's always good to have a walk in shower. Location is perfect, right in the centre of Darlo with plenty of choice for bars and restaurants.
Fern, 1-night trip

great location with shopping and restaurants within walking distance.
CHARLES, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location, strange buzzing sound in room.

Stayed 1 night for a gig at the Forum, perfect location for this with the added bonus of a Wetherspoons just 2 minutes walk away. The room was quite spacious for a city centre hotel and well equipped. Some areas are looking quite tired, the paint was peeling on the walls and the roman blind needed replacing as it left a gap down the side which meant the room had too much light during the night from the street lights outside. The main issue was an infuriating high pitch buzzing sound, even after turning off the fridge and TV at the wall so it was a very restless night for me! Bring earplugs if you are staying in room 408. Lovely Elemental brand toiletries in the bathroom which was clean but again looking a bit tired, in particular the ceiling tiles. All staff interactions were friendly.

John, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Disappointing

Well let's start with the positives, parking wasnt an issue, and breakfast was nice. Checking in wasnt great the receptionist was stood outside for 5 minutes vaping and scrolling on her phone, and when she did come in, there wasnt an apology, or "have you been waiting long?" The room was of a poor standard, i honestly thought it would have been bigger for starters, small parts of the wallpaper was ripped, the toilet roll holder was hanging off the wall amd lets talk dust, the room looked like it hadnt had a good clean in a good while. I wouldn't recommend the hotel to anyone and certainly wouldn't stay there again. I booked it for location to the theatre so didn't have to drive ot get taxis, but wish stayed elsewhere.
