We stayed at Garden Court Hotel for three nights mid week. Whilst it was clean and ‘did the job’ we wouldn’t stay again. The place felt a bit tired and soulless. Small changes like new pillows, as they were very flat, replacing the loose door handles and replacing the fabric headboard that was cracked and flaking would make it significantly better. The room was spacious and practical with lots of storage and a lovely shower, so covered our needs but just could be better. Breakfast was okay, however everyone is in a tiny room and where the buffet is is a miniature room, causing people to be stood right on top of each other and getting annoyed. Staff were clearly stressed, unbothered or past caring at breakfast too, which didn’t make it the most pleasant atmosphere. It was a bit of a free for all and in a tight space wasn’t ideal. The selection of breakfast was functional but not amazing - a few pastries, meats and cheeses, three types of cereal, bread, fruit salads and a yogurt bowl. The location is good, about 10 minutes out of the centre and as we were on the fourth floor, didn’t hear much traffic noise. The bed was very creaky and felt like it needed replacing, and I didn’t find it particularly comfortable, nor did we sleep much as there was a constant stream of noise in the corridor. Cleaners seemed to arrive early in the morning and say everything at the loudest volume too. The walls were paper thin and we could hear the conversations of neighbouring rooms.
