Room was very clean and pleasant. Food was good but service very very slow (it was Valentines Day so to an extent we understood but 30 mins to get a glass of water was maybe a little extreme) Bed a little uncomfortable and the floors (both ours and above) were extremely creaky so we could hear everyone moving around which made for a difficult sleep. Staff extremely pleasant and location is great.

The room had black mould on window and on frame. Was shocked to see it.
Staff all pleasant.
Couldn’t cancel next booking because of the state of my room made me not wish to stay at Admiral Rodney again. In the Past always been happy there.
Asked for another room but reception said couldn’t change last night or next time (on 26 and 27th March).
Please can you refund me as it is circumstances from your booking system that the receptionist says cannot be done. This is not fair you will agree. The room was noisy too which stopped me from sleeping when i desperately needed a good nights rest as driving at nearby Cadwell Park today 15th Feb. Was woken at around 5am by creaking floorboards and voices. My next booking was for Cadwell too. Please can you make a refund in view of the circumstances for my next two dates. Was told by the hotel they couldn’t help me. Can you please? I’m desperate that I’ve made a booking with so many faults - even returned in person to talk to Admiral Rodney without success. Please help. Thank you.
I don’t think my complaint should be made public for your sake but if you wish to do so please seek a solution. Thank you.

We received a warm welcome on arrival and the room was cosy and warm. The bathroom wasn't spotlessly clean (hence the 4/5) but the room was. The only issue was the lack of soundproofing - we could hear the child next door talking, and the creaky floorboards meant we had no choice but to wake up when the people in the room above chose to get up (they must have walked around the room about 100 times between 8am and 9am!). However, I suppose that's an inevitable issue with an old building. If I stayed again, I would ask for a room upstairs.

For the price we were very happy with our stay! Of course, some areas of the room were a little tired, but everything was clean and organised.
The parking (round the back of the hotel) was free with plenty of spaces.
Our room had a tv and a radio which was a nice touch, and the bed was comfortable enough for a short stay. We’ll be sure to use this hotel again on future family visits!

The internet was really poor and kept dropping out. The first room we were in, 210, the windows didn't close properly because it was warped letting in the cold. We didn't report it until the next day and were moved. The carpet had been joined but was coming apart and fraying. The mattresses were so lumpy and need to be replaced. I asked for a ground floor room when i booked online and was put on the 1st floor so waste of time requesting it. To be honest we felt like coming home after the first day. When i told them about the window the Manager said no one had reported it before? The standard of the Hotel needed to be updated in many areas. We have stayed there before a few years ago and found it to be ok. The staff were lovely. Can't fault them. Thank you.

Couldn’t get a table for dinner. Had to eat from a low table in reception. We could see the dining room and there were empty tables all night. Not very successful. Not what you need after a six hour journey.

Think there was problems in the kitchen.

We could not get an answer from reception as we couldn’t find the car park. Had to ask a local.

We complained to 'Jenny' in reception (she was amazing a truly first class exemplary staff member) and she moved us to another room at the other side of the hotel overlooking the car park, it was lovely and we had a great second night. Restaurant was good quality and service was great.

The hotel is very expensive for what you get. We paid £158 for a classic double and breakfast. The room is small but ok. It was extremely hot, not the hotels fault obviously, but they only had a very small fan in the room and water is not provided. When we queried if we could have some water and a larger or second fan we were told water was not available unless we were happy to pay and there were no other fans available. The fan we had made a loud clicking noise all throughout the night.
The room and bathroom are slightly tired and could do with some care. One of our windows was painted shut and the other when opened was full of dust and cobwebs behind the safety glass. The walls and door around the bathroom had lots of marks on it. There is also a rubber duck in the bathroom but it is full of mould and should be either cleaned or removed. The dressing table at one side of the bed was also covered in beads - looked like the previous occupants had broken a bracelet and it had not been cleaned.
On checking out when asked about our stay mentioned again the water and facilities as can see Expedia list free bottled water as a ‘perk’. Receptionist said it is company policy that water is only Deluxe rooms and Expedia is wrong! Considering this is a classed as 4 star it’s all just a bit cheap!
The breakfast was lovely and the waitress was on her own for the full time we were there and did an amazing job at managing all the tables- thank you to her.

We stayed in room 200 which is called The Flagship Suite. It was amazing, very welcoming from the radio playing in the background to a cool air from a fan. The bathroom is large as is the bath. We ate in the restaurant and was very happy with our choice of food, it was cooked to perfection. Lovely seating area inside or outside if you just wanted to sit and watch the world go by. The only downside of this break was it went to quickly. We shall certainly look forward to returning for another stay.
