Purchased a one night stay with via Groupon, room was ok nothing special but you are not going to get a decent room as a groupon customer I guess. No toilet roll, dead insects in the shower tray, no phone to ring down about toilet roll or the lack of wine on arrival as promised with the deal so initially very disappointed.
Went for dinner and the menu is fairly limited for choice, approx 6 choices for each course, starter was pretty good, I ordered steak cooked rare for my main course and it duly turned up medium with no offer of any condiments I asked for English mustard, with my steak going cold and no mustard in sight asked another member of staff and he duly returned with french mustard, gave in and just ate it as dinner just about cold, my partner did have the Lamb and said it was very good. Drinks ordered at the table and wrong drink turned up although changed it no quibble.
Other guests seemed to be getting equally frustrated with wrong meals/drinks turning up with one chap giving up and going out to fetch a sandwich!!!
Breakfast ok but only scrambled egg available and again no condiments offered.
When checking out they tried to charge me for our complimentary drinks that were included with the deal.
Plus points are the fab location and the friendly staff.
I would not recommend this hotel, looks from the outside that the management is very weak as such basic stuff it is easily recitfied and would make this is cracking place to stay.

There is absolutely no excuse for bad housekeeping and this has been dealt with - more stringent room checks have been called for.
Its such a shame that you felt that you were not offered your wine, we allow guests to have this from check in or before or during their meal -they only have to ask.
Some waiting issues seem to have occurred, and there is no excuse for lack of mustard at the correct time. I can confirm that the evening wasn't as dramatic as you are making it out to be -but understand how you feel if a wrong drink appeared. Please accept my apologies for this happening.
There is a Breakfast menu available on tables noting that you can have your eggs cooked anyway you want them, and condiments at breakfast are normally readily available -sorry if this wasn't the case.
