My experience at this hotel was absolutely terrible. The cleanliness was non-existent, and the facilities were run down, making my stay quite uncomfortable. While the area had potential, the lack of any kind of service was very frustrating. I wouldn’t recommend staying here at all.

My stay at The Fountain Court Hotel was incredibly disappointing. The rooms were rundown and not very clean, which made for an uncomfortable experience. The restaurant and bar facilities were nonexistent, leaving us with limited options for food during our stay. The only upside was the reasonable price we paid, but the overall experience simply wasn’t worth it.

My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing. The room I was in had an unfortunate smell and the window raised concerns about security. There was a complete lack of dining options, and finding staff was frustrating. The only positive was that the price was low, which might be the only reason some would consider staying here, but overall it's not worth it.

I had a disappointing experience at the hotel, which was quite rundown and lacked basic amenities. The food service was very poor, and it felt like the overall maintenance was neglected. While I noticed some effort to improve the bar area, my stay was overshadowed by the issues with cleanliness and service. I wouldn't recommend staying here unless significant changes are made.

I absolutely loved the charm of this historic hotel, perfect for those who appreciate old-world elegance. The room was spacious and comfortable, but the overall cleanliness left a bit to be desired. Although the staff was friendly, the lack of upkeep was evident. Additionally, while the breakfast fruit was exceptional, other aspects such as noise and amenities could use improvement. Overall, it has potential if they work on renovations.
