Jack Nicholson
Around 30+ years ago I went to a wedding here. It was quite a salubrious and luxurious hotel. Possibly the best and poshest in the area.
Skip forward 30 years, it was quite sad to see the decline of this once majestic hotel. There were signs of its once style as when you enter the hotel to reception you see polished marble floors and a grand piano.
However, you’re greeted, in the foyer, with piped piano music that is reminiscent of something you hear in a chapel of rest. You barely see a fellow guest and the ambience deserted corridors left me fearing that Jack Nicholson would pop round the corner screaming ‘Here’s Johnny.’
What guests you do see, are possible housed there under provisions of emergency housing from the local council. A couple of guests were regularly smoking in the foyer entrance which resulted in walking through a haze of stale smoke to get into the entrance.
My room was dated which seemed to have the decor of the 1980s, which again had thinking of the set of the Shinning. Only one pillow on the bed, I’m fussy for two pillow comfort.
The breakfast was advertised as £6.99 for a continental, but seeing pictures, I didn’t fancy just cornflakes, an apple and toast so I gave this a miss and got a breakfast meal deal, £3.60, a Costa coffee, a large fruit punnet and a croissants from the nearby Tesco Express.
On the positive side, what little staff there were, they were pleasant, polite and attentive. The room was very clean and the quite comfy.
