I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean, and the staff was friendly and cooperative, but we were given a twin room instead of a double, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was booked in advance for a wedding nearby.

Rooms

7.0

The twin room provided was unexpected as we were a couple, so we had to push the beds together, which wasn't very comfortable.

Service

The staff took our various requests in their stride, but there were some issues that seemed beyond their expertise.

Location

The location was very good, especially for attending a nearby wedding, though better signage to the property would have been helpful.

Although we had a great time overall, we didn't get a chance to try the dining options due to running late.

I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at the Saracens hotel. The rooms were a good size, quiet, clean, and featured a powerful shower and comfortable bed. However, the need to push the beds together for a couple diminished the overall comfort. The service was exceptional, with a delightful surprise of being greeted at 1 am with a special vegetarian dish prepared for me. The location was convenient for my needs, though there were some minor discrepancies with the booked arrangements. The dining experience offered a good selection of food but lacked consistency in temperature. Overall, the hotel provided a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
