Very Good

Hotel is on corner of s busy road so lots of traffic.
Checkin was easy with friendly staff (one only) and who also covered the bar!
Learned the otel had gone cashless but there banking machines were not working. So 1st nighr paid cash. 2nd night had to pay on line! Website needs updating to refllect this.
Room was OK but windows need a very good clean
Shower was either red hot or scoulding. Reported to staff who said they'd get it fixed. Appeared there was an issue with the boiler!
Breakfast was very good nice and hot full English.
No actual car park here but could have used the local cricket club for £2 a day.
I would stay here again if in Kendal. Just needs a few tweeks.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Had to wait until exactly 3pm to check in bit frustrating sitting for 10 minutes- then staff swapped over so had to wait again. Booked a double room but given a twin which wasn’t clean - this was swapped on request. Room was on the top corner no double glazing so with 3 windows it was noisy from traffic, bathroom fan didn’t work so bathroom window and all windows constantly streamed up - radiator was on so this must be an ongoing problem. Staff were chatty but not very bothered about customers but they did seem to be running reception, serving the bar and serving food. Bit of investment needed into the building and maybe more staff would improve this as it’s in a great spot?
Bed was very comfortable and the room was generally clean. I appreciated the addition of a fan. Toilet had a bad smell though and the remote control for the TV was really dirty. Also very thick dust on the extendable TV wall mount. Minor gripes though as it was amazing value. Would stay there again.
I don’t like being negative but it was not great. The staff tried hard - or some did - but they were very under-staffed with people doubling up on roles. Waited at least 5 or 6 mins before anyone came to reception desk, at peak check-in time, despite ringing the bell. There were five people waiting before anyone turned up. My food in the evening was ok and was served on time but I saw another person order very carefully but his order was very delayed and not what he ordered. Breakfast was pretty poor. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The public areas left a bit to be desired. You get what you pay for and it was not particularly expensive.
Very Scottish decor’ for some reason.
Staff were over worked and doing multiple jobs as best as they could and as quickly as they good. Tending bar, taking orders, waiting on tables - just one person! They really struggled at breakfast with a coach party all coming down to eat at the same time and only two waitresses and one chef to handle everything. I could see how frustrated the staff and the customers were getting with the whole situation. The room was clean and tidy with good tea and coffee amenities. TV was working well. Bathroom looked recently refurbished. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout. I really liked their “free drink instead of housekeeping” option, which I absolutely decided to go for. Hotel is conveniently located to train station and a short walk into Kendal town centre.
The staff were extremely helpful, friendly and professional. The bedroom was well clean and tidy, great shower.
Breakfast was outstanding, I was full all day.
