Penta have tried to change a good standard hotel in to a trendy nightclub cum boutique hotel. This has failed entirely (presumably why the hotel appeared to be empty - I have stayed here for years...
Very clean, facilities all 'worked'
Hotel has been refurbished by Penta - they've turned a good standard, welcoming hotel into a trendy 'nightclub' style place with accommodation. I booked a double room through your site to be told on arrival that there are no double rooms any longer in this hotel - I therefore insisted on a reduction in my fee. After a long 'discussion' this was agreed. Luckily I asked for this in writing as when I checked out the staff tried to charge me for the full price for a non-existent double. The downstairs is no longer suitable for relaxing over a drink and meal due to the low flourescent lighting and stark decor. The bedrooms have been designed by a failed, first-year design student - the chairs are stylish but of no use to sit on, the trendy leather table is too small to use and too large and high for a foot stool, the trendy open shoe box style wardrobe looks stylish but holds very little - bizarre decor
