Good hotel spoilt by some problems

Nice hotel and friendly staff but asked for quiet room and heard the noise from nearby nightclub for most of the night; TV wouldn’t work as someone had apparently stolen the chrome cast stick and it kept turning off; bedside lights didn’t work; there were no USB sockets anywhere so we couldn’t charge our phones.

Would give it a miss

Room was a bit dated with no double glazing so being right next to a major duel carrigeway was very noisy. Biggest issue the curtains didnt cover the windows which i didnt find out till 530am the next morning which was shocking. Went to check out and asked for the invoice which the night manager lied and said he couldnt give it to me, after relaising he had made a mistke tried to back track cliaming notes had been left about me and that its a Hotels.com issue. All of the shift people were sat around and had to corral to even get them to engage, appeciate its a rubbish shift but they were so rude. Needless to say I wont be staying here again or the pentahotel group if this is the quality,

Lovely stay, although the games provided are a little worse for wear. Pool table missing a ball, no cue chalk, pinball machine doesn’t work. Just little things that would need to be replaced. The room was nice. Clean. Friendly staff and security. Would stay again however I think it’s a little overpriced for what you get.

Penta pro's

Absolutely brilliant, team extreamly friendly, rooms spacious and very clean with everything you need. Only slight niggle is the windows being thin does let noise in a bit, but on a saturday night in a town center its kinda to be expected.

Hotel is lovely, modern and clean however there were 2 issues during my stay. Firstly the air conditioning was not working, it was producing warm air into the room. They sent someone out to look at it however they explained it was on winter mode and did not produce cold air during winter, i would not have booked this hotel if i had known it did not have air con. Also i was woken at 2am by doors being slammed multiple times, after speaking to reception they said it was a member of staff who was delivering items to rooms. Surely staff should be as quite a possible during the night so guests can sleep
