Jessops looked good on the website so my wife and i decided to have a couple of nights in mid March 2006 as a short weekend break. We arrived and where shown to our room which was no.6. Not impressed at all it was clean but very dated and the on-suite consisted of a seperate wc, but the shower and basin opened directly on to the room, the shower did not turn off properly we had to lay the shower head in the bath to stop the dripping noise so we could to get some sleep! The room was cold when we arrived, as it was around freezing outside i would have expected the heating to be on, we were told the heating could be put on if we required it, and this happened again when we came in on the Saturday afternoon about 4pm and again we had to request the heating be put on in our room. I tried to have a shower at 5pm on the Saturday but no hot water! so had to boil at kettle for a shave, tried agian at 6.15pm and yes hot water!!
On the up side the breakfast was very good.
The bar in operation in the hotel is a help yourself affair and fill in the what you have on a sheet and pay when you leave, if you need ice or lemon etc again you have to ring for service.
Overall this hotel needs to improve, cannot vouch for the other rooms but we where disappointed apart from the breakfast.
