I have stayed at this hotel on numerous occasions as it is near Lancaster hospital, i am in the forces and having delicate surgery on my knee ,so going out of the hotel is nigh on impossible so rely on the hotels service ie restaurant and bar to my amazement the hotel lost its alcohol licence on my second day there.not very nice when you cant get out no compensation or help was offered only by what i can only say as.by a very surly evening reception young lady wen i asked about this her rough reply to my question about advertised service that i had payed for was you have a bed and room.....totaly unbelievable and rude...the room i had paid for was very tierd with stained carpets..lmy room was along way from the lift which one strugled to get to ...most of the staff are so sweet and helpfull but a detriation by a couple of the staff and the closure of the bar service soured my stay not a happy stay very upset.........

Nice enough place, centrally located.

Hotel had some age to it, was nice enough, staff seemed freindly , helpful etc. Room was adequate just thought the overall cleanliness let it down a little. Some hairs in the bathroom and the window had not been cleaned (inside ) for some time but those are my only criticisms. Nice place and would stay again.

Overnight meet up in Lancaster but this hotel was absolutely perfect. Staff were friendly and helpful - we had a problem with our remote control and were offered several options to help, including the offer of a different room to see if the TV was any better there. 5min walk to station. 2min walk to castle. Central location for town with a selection of eateries. Beds were extremely comfortable. Possibly some more hooks in the room would be useful to hang coats. Also hook on bathroom door would be handy The hotel is obviously of its age and clearly has a lot of history so it might seem a little dated but it was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. Not sure how much use the Crypt (downstairs bar) gets but it would make a great spa!! All in all a really lovely stay. .
