This hotel is filthy and needs to be shut down!! If I have anything to do with it it will be. We arrived to a virtually deserted building and duly paid £58!! I wish I had viewed the room before hand. I enetered my room to find BLACK HAIRS IN MY BED AND PILLOWS..the receptionist changed these. There was a... More

I had no problems at all with this hotel. It is close to the town and the race track. It has a large open bar area with cheap drinks. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. My room was clean and stocked with the usual - Towels, shampoo, tea/coffee. I asked for another blanket and they sent on up straight... More

A very dirty hotel; I could not bear to walk barefoot across the stained cream carpet, the bath had two disposable razors left so it had obviously not been cleaned. My grown up children could not bear to have a shower in their rooms which were freezing cold as well as dirty. We stayed after attending a Christmas party there;... More

Don't even consider this hotel. We got in our room and it was disgusting, stained bed sheets with holes in, the bed looked like it had already been slept in. There was no soap or anything in the bathroom apart from hairs from previous guests. We actually couldn't bare to stay at the place and drove home. Save your money... More

My friend and I stayed at the Parkside hotel and to be honest I would not put a dog in there. The room was dark and depressing, the wallpaper was peeling off the walls, there was no hot water in the bathroom and we could not get to sleep for the noise made by other people - including banging doors,...

We went to a party, so many rooms were used by guests. Our room smelt foisty, the cups were dirty, the breakfast less than satisfactory. We complained and were faced with the worst respense we have ever received, including a refusal to provide us with Head office details,so we were unable to further our complaint. Other guests were also saying... More

I had stayed at the Parkside before and it was just about acceptable, but now it has gown downhill so far it really is the pits. The room was filthy, no remote for the TV, ripped bed covers, dust and cobwebs everywhere, it is by far the worst hotel I have stayed in in 35 years of business travel. There... More
