Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is conveniently located for exploring Carlisle and the Lake District, making it a lovely stay. The rooms were clean and the beds very comfortable, although there was hair in the bath and no sample toiletries provided. The service had a minor incident with a disruptive guest, but the staff handled it well. The location is handy and good for the intended visit, despite the industrial estate feel. The dining experience offered good value, though the food quality was inconsistent. The facilities are suitable for a pleasant stay, with some limitations.
The hotel's rooms, despite being clean, were seriously dated and in need of refurbishment. On the positive side, the service was excellent, with staff swiftly resolving issues. The location was good for access to the coast and the lake district. The dining experience ran out of some items but was tasty. Facilities were decent overall.
The hotel had clean and adequate rooms, but unfortunately, lacked hot water and working television. The staff was friendly and informal despite being short-staffed. The location was nice, offering cheap food and easy access to Carlisle city. The dining experience was poor and overpriced. However, the hotel has been renovating its facilities gradually.
