"Disappointing and overpriced stay Booked Drift Inn for a birthday stay mainly for the pool/sauna, but left really disappointed. Decor is bright and modern, and the room was clean, quiet and the bed comfortable. Corridors smelled nice too. But there were visible stains and the room was far too hot. No air con and the fan was useless. I slept outside the duvet and my husband was sweating all night. Reception felt impersonal with self check in screens. Staff member looked bored and was vague when we asked about the pool, just pointing “over there” across the car park. Cafe Bar was a let down. Tables were dirty with old plates left. We were told we could eat outside, chose a sunny jetty table, then told after 6pm food wasn’t allowed there, only in the shaded area. This wasn’t explained upfront. We didn’t eat as it felt unclean and badly run. Leisure facilities are in a separate building across a car park/road and run by another company. We were told to call ahead as access isn’t guaranteed due to classes, even on a Sunday. Not the relaxed experience advertised. Breakfast food was nice, but layout poor. By the time you’d fetched everything it was cold. Poached egg arrived as we finished. Menus cleared early. Not a cheap stay. Felt disjointed and not worth the money. Wouldn’t return."

"The buffet breakfast looked appealing at first, but unfortunately, most of the food was either cold or only lukewarm. The menu was the same each day, which quickly became repetitive. The pancakes and waffles were especially disappointing—cold and hard, which is not what you would expect. Additionally, serving syrup and toppings from open containers felt awkward and less than ideal. The rooms themselves were clean, which I appreciated, but there were several inconveniences. I had to request a mini fridge, and even then, it did not get very cold. There was no air conditioning, so I had to rely on opening the window for cooler air. Washcloths were also not provided initially and had to be requested. The gym appeared well-equipped, but it was closed for several days during my stay, which was frustrating. Dining was also underwhelming—the steak was thin and not worth the price, and honestly should be reconsidered for the menu. The pizza lacked flavor, and even small details like drinks at the bar fell short, with minimal ice and overall not meeting typical standards. Overall, while the property has potential and maintains cleanliness, there are several service and quality issues that need improvement to meet expectations."

"Great hotel, quite location, lovely rooms and service "

"Great location and comfortable room "

"Great hotel and reasonably placed. Great to have facilities to make your own food with a shop downstairs. Bar area was lovely and gym is ok for a hotel - a little small. Rooms were really comfortable"

"The communal areas are wonderful and the gym is great. My bedroom was minuscule and with a courtyard view which was surprising for a 300+£ stay. The bed was hard as a rock and although they helpfully gave me a topper it did not resolve the issue. I now have neck pain! The bedroom was very loud - could hear the person upstairs walking and the shower noise so I was kept awake late and woke up very early. I expect a different room might have been better ? I wouldn’t recommend staying here if you value a good night sleep."

"Breakfast excellent good choice. Check in was excellent and all staff members very helpful."

"A bit far from the city, but very good place. Recommended "

"Solid and good hyatt in an interesting new university town development. A small but good selection of shops, bars, and pizza in the square nearby, along with the hotels own bar/restaurant. Great shuttle bus to town and close to the park and ride, makes it a great place to stay and relax. Presented good value for money on accomdation, didn't eat there. Handy fridge in room helped too. "
