I wanted to give Mansley the chance to respond to the survey they sent me and put things right before posting this review, but 3 weeks later they have chosen not to respond.
Check in was straightforward. The plus points about the room were the Smeg appliances, rainforest shower, blackout curtains and proximity to Cheltenham Town centre.
The room was cold when I arrived and the aircon instructions unclear on the app - initially ok during a heatwave but subsequently sleep was difficult on first night as it became too cold in the room and bedding very thin. Only overhead bright spotlights and no dimmer option or lamps. It was like lying in an operating theatre and no good for my light sensitivity. No desk and chair which was stated in the room spec so this is misrepresented. One low table and one chair (with a stain on seat) so no good for two people. Bed was not comfortable. Toiletries refilled and mismatching bottles. Cracks and visible water damage on wall.
Several phone calls the next day, but room could not be changed. A lamp was bought in and extra duvet whilst I was out so second night more tolerable. Saw housekeeper for first time when I was leaving who showed me other Superior Rooms which were of higher quality with all having full facilities provided as advertised. Very helpful and apologetic and assured me management would want to put things right, but they have chosen not to. On this basis, I feel I overpaid for the room and will not use Mansley again.
