I stayed at this hotel for five nights during a business trip. The room was generally fine—clean and modern with a comfortable bed—though there were some minor issues. While the location is excellent with shops and facilities nearby, the service could use some improvements, particularly regarding attention to detail. Overall, it had its positives but wasn't without its quirks.

While the hotel has some charm, it clearly shows its age, particularly with worn-out mattresses and slow internet speeds. The redeeming factor is the excellent restaurant that offers delicious meals. On top of that, the value for the pub meals is outstanding, making it a great spot for budget-conscious diners. Overall, there are some conveniences, but improvements are definitely needed.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The atmosphere was festive and welcoming, especially during the Christmas seafood smorgasbord I attended. However, my room service experience left much to be desired, as my meal arrived cold and the manager was not very helpful. While the rooms were spacious and comfortable, maintenance issues did detract from my stay. Overall, it was a pleasant visit, but there are areas that could definitely use improvement.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, which I really appreciated after a long day. However, the room service was a letdown, with cold food and a less than ideal response from the management. On the plus side, the day staff were professional and handled my issue well. Overall, I plan to return for business but hope for some improvements in management.

I recently stayed at the Colmslie Hotel and while there were some highlights, there were also quite a few letdowns. The location is convenient with easy parking and the accommodations are spacious and quiet. However, the dining experience was quite disappointing, and the service left a lot to be desired. Overall, there are definitely areas for improvement, especially given the price point.
