Very genuine review of an ex good hotel that’s rapidly gone down hill.

It’s really gone down hill.

Genuine review here, I’ve been staying at this hotel for about 8 years. Multiple times throughout the year, it’s my very last. I am going to explore Hotel Victoria or Hatfield or the Premier Inn.

Wherry has deteriorated quickly. The hotel is extremely dated. The wallpaper falling off walls, bathrooms absolutely reek of sewerage, mould.. Our carpets in the bedrooms have huge holes in them and very much stained beyond the point where it’s just taking the pi**. They need to be replaced for sure. The stairs are similar too. So i’m assuming other rooms are the same.

Staff have no idea what’s going on. Night porter (London/Essex Accent) told me EV charging through a window he’s seen before, but Luke / sue said this is not true - Not sure why I would of brought it into context if this was not true.

I paid extra for a dog, but regardless i’m paying more than other customers without a dog, so why should I put up with massive holes in carpets, mould, filthy bathrooms and a terrible upkeep of the hotel. This is a budget hotel right now yet charging £90-£110 a night. I assume there is rooms that allow dogs which are located on the front. If so, these should be cheaper.. Extremely loud, dirty yet they are charged the same as the rest of the hotel plus a pet surcharge… Things really aren’t adding up.

I believe wherry hotel should definitely have EV charging regardless.

Breakfast is atrocious. All frozen food. Use to come here when it was decent all you can eat. Fresh good fruit, wide selection of continental. Now it’s not worth waking up for. Head to the Old Diary opposite.

Fruit was past its best life, the breakfast bap was definitely frozen sausages and pure fat bacon.

Croissants were packaged and not even fresh/ freshly baked. Surely you can see that this hotel and service is on a very very downward spiral, which is going down rather quickly.

Rats outside the front of the hotel where the bins are next to the kitchen doors. I put some dog poop in their bins. Which are totally overflowing, have sea-gulls breaking bags open, and a lot of food on the floor on the carpark. I suspect that no doubt if that’s how it is always, they definitely attract rats.

And not frequently topped up or refreshed (eggs were cremated).

Sue is extremely rude and seems to have an attitude. Restaurant staff were great as usual.

Mattresses feel like they have zero springs. Nice duvets however. Water pressure is very bad with showers also.

Overall. I won’t return and wouldn’t recommend, Wherry really need to invest in this hotel and make it value for money. Currently it’s poor.

Going off other reviews people are saying it’s good budget hotel. This is not budget prices, premier inn/ Travel-lodge are charging £35-£60 a night which comes with a sleep guarantee.

I’ll say it again. There is so much better and value for money. Hopefully if this hotel reads this review and gets back into gear, as it was once upon a time a nice hotel. Mr and my partner are ever so shocked of how bad it’s got. I’ve been coming here for 8+ years since I left the town for University and visiting family 2/3 times a year…
