"Good"

1.0

Have stayed at this hotel a few times as it is convenient for early morning trains, but if you arrive after c. 8pm it's a lottery as to whether you"ll be let in despite pre-booking. On two occasions I eventually got the night porter to let me in after knocking on various windows (doorbell didn't work). Most recently arrived and couldn't get in at all so had to stay elsewhere. Nobody around at all. I won't be staying again! It makes Fawtly Towers seem like a slick operation!
