I can identify with many of the bad reviews listed. I have stayed here several times in recent years because it is convenient for family visits - there is no other option in the center of Thame. The staff do their best but the impression is of disinterested owners who are happy to run the place into the ground for the sake of profit. I get the impression that the place is understaffed and that the staff are given little/no authority to resolve issues. Arrived at check in time to be greeted by a sign saying “call this number if reception is unattended”. No one answered the phone. The other couple waiting to checkin went to the restaurant and were told that someone would be along soon. 15 mins later someone did arrive to tell us the rooms weren’t ready yet. Our room was fine but had a smashed electrical socket at the vanity table with live electrical wires exposed - lethal. Surely the cleaners would have noticed and reported it? It’s really run down and it’s obvious that minimum money is being spent on maintenance and repairs. Staff as friendly and as helpful as they can be.

Awful, tired, not clean - absolute rip off
Absolutely awful place, should not be advertised, I paid £100 for a tiny box room which was not clean, the bed was pushed up against the corridor wall, only a bathroom style lock in the door, the place was incredibly noisy until all hours.

Never again ! Awful !
This was by far the worst hotel I have ever booked via Hotel.com The hotel was expensive, the so called ‘suite’ had a bare room with two chairs and a side table and the condition of this room, the bed room and bathroom was appalling! Breakfast was a joke ! Very little choice, poorly presented, 3 of the 6 items on cooked menu were subject to a surcharge and one member of the staff team was so rude that if he worked for me I would have sacked him on the spot !! Other hotel guests were also raising the same concerns and we will all await for the manager to contact us !!! Overall I will be seeking a full refund and WOULD NOT recommend this hotel to my worse enemy!!
