The Carlton Park Hotel

This hotel has the potential to be nice, but sadly it isn't. When walking into reception to the smell of cigarette smoke our stay didn't start very well. I don't know if the hotel allows smoking but if it does then its the kind of place that attracts people who aren't very considerate the others. The smoke continued to find us during the night through the bathroom extractor fan. The room itself looked ok on the surface but its dated and has not been modernised - e.g no plug sockets by the bed. It wasn't that clean with other peoples hair still lying around. Turning on the bathroom light was followed by 2 minutes of strobe lighting from a dodgy bulb. After a few visits we gave up and left the light on all night. The bathrooms really let things down further. The doors stuck and were too big for the frame. They had to be slammed hard to shut. I know our room wasn't the only one with this issue as I was woken up by other guests slamming theirs several times. The shower was terrible. The temperate gauge did nothing but spin around pointlessly and the pressure was just a trickle. We could see through open doors that some communal areas and reception spaces were under going renovation but they didn't look like full strips and refurbs, more a quick cheap facelift that isn't going to last. If I had to find a positive the biscuits with the tea and coffee were nice. I do hope the money starts coming in so this hotel can be given some much needed love and attention.

Absolutely disgusting we couldnt even stay the night the room stank the hotel had smashed picture frames everywere, room looke like someone just had 100 cigs an hour with how yellow it was shower didnt work no plug for the bath i wouldnt even let me dog stay there, we told him to keep his money and we left

Reception staff scruffy Continuosly talking on the phone to afriend whilst checking me in. Corridors smelled of cigarettes Small room with no chair Bed uncomfortable

This place is in an advanced state of disrepair. Cheap, but not at a point to say great value for money.

Dirt around property, rooms not properly cleaned, staff rather rude.

Nearly reopened so update currently happening - staff friendly and adequate parking

I recently stayed at the Carlton Park Hotel on a business trip to the area to photograph an Engagement ceremony in the area. The only reason I have given 4 stars for the 'Property condition and facilities' is because it is a work in progress and the staff are working extremely hard to restore the Hotel to it's former glory after being closed and vandalised for nearly 2 years. The hotel has only reopened it's doors to guests a month ago after being purchased by a chain of hotels and work is underway to upgrade everything in and around the hotel. My stay was very enjoyable and Ali and the team ensured that everything was perfect about my time there. The room was very spacious and comfortable with fresh linen, plenty of storage space, an iron, fan, tea/coffee facilities, TV and free WiFi. The reception area was always maintained to the highest standards and there is fresh carpeting, painting and decorating throughout the accommodation. There is plenty of parking and a Tesco Express nearby and the hotel is only a 10 minute drive to the centre of Rotheram. Once all the Reception rooms, bars and restaurant, indoor swimming pool, gymnasium and garden areas are restored, the hotel is going to become another fantastic hotel and venue for Rotheram visitors. I definitely recommend the hotel if you are looking for a quiet, friendly and comfortable stay at very affordable prices.

Check in wasn't great as there were no staff on the reception desk. Overall the rooms were fine and clean. There was a strong smell of cannabis being smoked in the hotel which was not great as my young daughter was staying too. No breakfast available on site, no information in the rooms about check out time etc Could only find two plug sockets per room.

We were only there overnight in the area for a birthday party the following day. The reception staff were very friendly on arrival. The beds were very comfortable. However in the morning when showers were needed there was no hot water not even warm and no one in our party of 5 could get the internet to work.

Just an awful hotel. 1 star at best
