Good points: - Close to Matlock and surrounding areas, super easy to get straight on the road. - The staff we saw were very kind. Bad points: - Bathrooms have no ventilation so the whole room stank of damp as well as several areas of mould across the walls and ceilings. -We stayed in room 102 which seemed to be next door to the boiler room or something to that effect as it rumbled against our bed wall every evening. WiFi is £5 a day and is slow/drops out frequently. - Didn’t have the ability to hang a room service request on the door (they don’t give them to you for some reason?) so had to ask at the desk. Spoke to someone at 9am, came back at 3pm and the wet towels in the bathroom were still there which made the damp smell even worse. We were given new towels by a lovely girl at the reception who did apologise. - We avoided the restaurant entirely as the reviews were horrendous (cold breakfast, mouldy bread, staffing issues) so found local areas to eat instead - highly recommend doing this as their restaurant prices were quite high! - We drove in an electric car and chose this hotel partly for the charging points on site. However 2 out of the 3 days we were unable to access them due to non-electric cars using the bays as parking spaces all day and overnight. We ended up having to play their own game and park in the space overnight when we saw the opportunity just so we could charge for our journey back. - Room decor and general maintenance was awful and felt like a budget hostel rather than a mid-priced hotel. Huge holes in the wall from previous items being unscrewed and not patched up. Pictures on the wall barely hanging on and look like a child hung them. Bathroom covered in mould. Old and tired carpet. There were far better places we could’ve stayed and sadly wish we had. Wouldn’t recommend.
