6/10 Good

Although the room was clean and well presented there are some areas that would benefit attention. The wood around the shower base and bathroom window was suffering with severe water damage and could do with being replaced. There was no ability to hang towels up anywhere the only possible place was the back of the bathroom door but the hook was missing. The room would benefit from a small draw unit there was only space to hang clothes. Unfortunately the iron lead was damaged and the Hairdryer and Fan had not been electrically tested. All that said the room served the purpose and I would book again for a short stay

8/10 Very good

Was a lovely hotel with lovely staff in a nice location, I do like the kings inn hotels but admittedly the bathroom wasn’t very clean nor modern and it did smell a little, but it was still good for the price we paid to stay there. The bed was comfortable and we had a sleep without any disturbances. Also breakfast was nice, and the bar maids were very nice and it was very calm and chilled to sit and have a drink in the evening.

Cheap and cheerful is the only way I can describe this. It was perfectly fine, nothing wrong just also not great. Staff were fantastic, but room is tired and bare bones, shower was weak and missing shampoo.

8/10 Very good

Great service, great staff. Decor a little tired.

The staff were excellent and the room was lovely and quiet. The beds were really comfy. I would only say that the shower cubicle was very cramped with a drench shower head which was unnerving for my elderly mum and the carpets and some fixtures were a little tired.

Darrington visit

Quick trip to the area. Hotel was very handy for where i needed to be. Plenty of free parking.. check in lady was great. Room was fine. A bit chilly but the heating soon sorted that. Neighbours were a pain in the rear end. Noisy at 1am. Not the fault of the hotel of course. Had dinner on site. Reasonably priced and very nice. Breakfast was included and was great. Key drop check out. Will i use this one again. Definitely yes.

6/10 Good

Rooms decorated nicely although a bit tired looking. Staff very friendly. Bathroom had not been cleaned properly, hair still in the shower and sink and an awful stain running down the side of the sink. Room was advertised as having a rainfall shower, I received a room with a tiny broken shower head that was leaking so badly there was no pressure, it was also far too low, I’m 6ft and I had to bend down to shower. You can also hear all the noise from the corridor as there are large gaps in the door.

4/10 Fair

Would not return there

Friendly staff, however I feel sorry for them working in an establishment that as had no investment or upkeep for a long time. Our room was very tired, the bathroom was dusty, mold in the shower and the ceiling was in great need of attention, the corridor was smelly. Shame on a company like Greene King not to take more care of one of its establishment.

6/10 Good

A cheap stay but not the best.

Hotel overall was pretty dirty. We ate in the bar which actually tasted quite nice but when we ordered a drink the glasses came with dirt and lipstick on them. When I returned them to the bar, the girl was actually unimpressed that I had returned it. Albeit she did say sorry. The room and corridor leading to it were also old and dirty looking. However, the bed sheets were very clean and the bed was comfortable. We paid less than £60 so it wasn’t over the top for the time of year. Not a great hotel given its condition though.
