Huntonparkhotel Reviews

Absolutely dreadful staff and customer

Absolutely dreadful staff and customer service 2 day break spoilt Sent email to complain and was told a manager was emailing me the same day 2 weeks later and still waiting

Where to start really

Where to start really booked the hotel for a cream tea plonked in a room with no other customers no ambience in the place at all my daughter was asked to sign a disclaimer peanut allergy overall very very disappointed wouldn t recommend this place to anyone

Do not use in house caterers and if they don t agree go elsewhere

Yesterday evening I went to a Social event and I can honestly say the food was slops Even the worst working persons cafe has never been this badI realise taste is subjective but in my opinion is was fit for the pigsty All the food was cold and the 30mm piece of french stick they served with the starter must have been cut some considerable time previously as both sides were stale Do not use this establishment for any kind of celebration unless you can bring in your own caterer Waiters serving food with fingers in the top of bowls and cups Even the coffee was coldThe building is tatty and in need of renovation and the steps down from the reception area to the marquee are an accident waiting to happenIf the Hotel is given the investment it needs and they allow independent caterers it has great potential but as it stands I would have given zero stars if I could

Overbooked turfed us into the cold

Desperate to offer the true Christmas experience they d overbooked the hotel and there was no room at the inn Interestingly they suggested we try Holiday Inn one assumes that is the benchmark they measure themselves by and told us we d receive a refund in due course Appalling service by staff who appeared very much out of their depth in a customer facing role Thankfully we found another hotel that was independent nearby which was lovely and who told us this appears a regular occurrence Book with extreme caution and don t assume the room will be there when you arrive so ensure you have both the funds and an alternative if when it turns out they ve overbooked

Evidently misrepresented and misselling

Evidently misrepresented and misselling of rooms 1 Our booking confirmation states double superior which as per the website at time of booking and our stay stated should of given us rooms of the gardens Our superior bedrooms come with everything a classic room has to offer as well as stunning views out over the gardens They have now removed this from their website after my complaint highlighting the misselling of rooms Room 56 does not comply with the spec of a superior double it is tiny poorly maintained and you are unable to see out of the window as it is by the maintenance yard This was intentionally done 2 we were put in 54 a TWIN the wallpaper was ripped and there were leaks in the ceiling stains on the carpet as well as cobwebs and a damp smell in the bathrooms and the shower tray was broken I have since found this is not a one off as there are reviews from September in the same room advising of the same issues So please dont insult paying customers by replying shocked like this has just occurred or is a one off 3 alarmingly Staff kept a fire exit open all day and night Apart from going against fire regulations this meant our room was freezing as it was directly opposite Management dont want to address this issue either 4 Breakfast was barely edible and cold Lady behind the food was miserable However one good thing the cappuccino was lovely I was also told but superior rooms are slightly bigger than classic rooms Again validating my complaint that room 56 is not a superior room as room 54 a twin was bigger Hugely disappointing as the Manager was dismissive of my complaints and not willing to work towards a suitable solution instead said we were upgraded as we didnt want dinner - I dread to think what we would of been given had we opted for dinner The cost of our room and confirmation is also more than the room we stayed in
