2/10 Terrible
Jul 31, 2025
Absolutely terrible experience. It was not two full beds. It was a bed and a sofa couch that was terrible. The pool was not on the property and the hours for kid swim were limited. We got back late, found dried blood and crumbs in the sofa bed. No one picked up downstairs. I told Expedia and the hotel denied it- but I took photos.

Friendly and professional welcome and generally a good experience
But, I found blood stains on the carpet which had clearly been there for some time but no effort had been made to remove them.
It was too late to complain but very unpleasant and i belive the carpet shoukd have been replaced and the room put out of use.
Never seen that before

The hotel was in a very good location, right by the shops, parks and other interests in Cheltenham town centre. Can’t fault the easy location. The hotel is good, staff were excellent and very helpful - they went above and beyond.
The only thing to be completely transparent about is the hotel is on a main road and is going to be noisy - NOT THE HOTEL’S FAULT! Nothing can be done about this so if you’ve never been to this hotel before please be ready to get woken by sirens from emergency service vehicles at 2am, and shouting etc from people walking back from the pub/club through the night.
It is a town centre and always busy so bring ear plugs or keep the tv on (I did) and you’ll sleep fine.
The breakfast was a real winner too and makes up for the tiredness!!
