Lot of noise from the wedding below. Room far too hot, someone in our party asked about it and was told it was set at that and couldn’t change. I took a cold shower before trying to sleep. Not the best overnighted I’ve ever had.

The staff were very kind and efficient. We were able to check in earlier than was stated. The room was spotless and clean and the hotel itself was well placed with easy parking. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Wildes Inn.

Lovely hotel
but couldn’t sleep at all as there was no air conditioning just a fan the room blowing hot air around! it was 32degrees in the room(only 18degrees outside)
the window only opened a teeny tiny bit!
Just very disappointing as let’s face it, you pay to stay at a hotel for somewhere to sleep and if you can’t do that it’s pointless
We had a 2 night stay booked and had to make other arrangements for the second night!

The staff weren't helpful in explaining about the security deposit, nor when i asked about why the room was 28 degrees without being able to turn it down. Had to ask for second key card which then repeatedly didn't work for the room despite asking reception. Dirty bedding which was hidden by how pillows were placed. Cigarette nubs on the floor outside due to very lack of ashtrays. Overall for the money we paid mainly wasn't happy due to such an uncomfortable nights sleep with the room being so hot.

Booked a Executive room , the room was advertised as 160 square foot. I compared the sizes of the room before booking and chose to book the large room, couldn't get around the bed, it was that small there was only one bed size table because of the lack of room.

Hotel very clean, bathroom was great with large bath and shower, huge tv, large, comfortable clean bed, convenient free parking. Service was amazing, we left behind some boots in our room and the hotel contacted us and arranged for them to be posted to our home address, so huge thank you for that. Breakfast was plentiful but not the best tasting in our opinion and the coffee was awful. Would stay again for sure.
