Hotel is quite tired and about to be done up. Rooms are fine. As HHonors Diamond I was told there would be wine in my room. I asked about upgrade and the receptionist said she could do that to a deluxe room. She then also gave me a voucher "to have a drink on them". She never mentioned that breakfast was included but I was on the list in the morning.
Overall good value. I paid an advance rate of £59 and £19 for a really good half tandoori chicken and roasted vegetables and a pint of Murphy's. Did the job well!
Ha, i stayed here last friday.....booked deluxe room ( was same price as king room on points and cash).....asked about uprade on arrival...." yes yes she said, all your gold benefits will be in your room....ok....went to room and it was a just a deluxe with 1 tiny bottle of wine in......a very average hilton and im never upgraded here.
