On arrival our room was not made up with 2 beds so we had to wait an extra half an hour for it to be done (we arrived at 6pm). My mother is 79 years of age and was tired. Neither of us slept through the night either as there was no air conditioning and had to leave the window open. The bar next door was loud all night. Worst night’s stay ever and the hotel is not cheap. The hotel needs a serious upgrade. The staff were nice though so I don’t blame them!

Lovely comfortable hotel with parking right in town centre. All hotels now charge for their parking so I expected this. Staff were very friendly and yet professional. Room very comfortable and breakfast was excellent.

Hotel was ok, location was shockingly bad
Hotel was nice, but the location was shocking. Upon arrival at 4pm on Wednesday, we were greeted with a group of topless guys all drinking in groups at the entrance of the car park. This only got worse later in the day when the group got bigger. Lots of anti social behaviour including someone being chased with a knife outside just past midnight resulting in a police attendance and chase. All in all would not stay in Taunton again.
