The property was very tired and the stairs were covered in grass and dirt and remained so for the duration of our stay. The bath was dirty and the surrounding grout was disgusting and was covered in mould. The breakfast buffet was appalling and looked as it had been left out overnight and needless to say we did not partake of the food. We had stayed before but the apparent deterioration of standards will ensure we never stay there again and wouldn’t advise anyone else to do so either.

Disappointed in the hotel in a number of areas.Firstly it is very tired and needs upgrading.We had an adjoining room with only a small catch dividing us and strangers next door .The bar had very little drink on offer and the breakfast was awful and there was no bacon or fruit .If we had known what was on offer would have given it a miss.There was no bread until a guest asked for some and two loafs appeared still in its wrappers.After we checked in we asked for a change of room as there was young lads who were being boisterous next door .We were told the hotel was fully booked .Clearly a lie as the hotel was half empty.The positives were the linen and towels which were clean and the staff were in the main friendly and did what they could but felt they were embarrassed by the situation they found themselves in .The morning receptionist was openly apologetic.We would not stay here again ever and feel let down by Hotels.com having this on offer.This is the first time I have ever complained about any hotel I have ever stayed at and like I said very disappointed.

The sign for the sex clinic next door was bigger than the sign for our hotel. The hotel was understaffed with the receptionist running the bar and the desk and constantly running between without support. The room was worn out and old, no iron in the rooms, the bath was gross, there was insufficient ventilation and no climate control.

No bacon!!! Cold shower!!!
Room clean,smelt fresh, needs a few repairs. Cold shower,which could be an easy fix as water from taps was hot.Breakfast a bit poor,no bacon,no butter for toast,no white bread, empty plates not cleared from tables,think this was due minimal staff as receptionist was coming in now and again trying to do a bit. Stayed here before the boat people we're housed here and pool ,steam room,sauna and gym were all accessible but all closed off now.

Signage- looking for the Ox Hotel and it’s signed as the Meridian Hilltop Hitel Room- not bad but we had 2; ours was ok. Bed comfortable. Son’s a bit outdated and had a smoke smell Bar; no stock! No draught other than cider, fridge also practically empty Breakfast; not bad for the price. Cereal, toast, sausage, egg, tomato, mushrooms and baked beans. Juice Decent price for a one night stop Hotel has TONS of potential; I hope it’s realized as I read somewhere it has new owners?

Whilst the hotel staff were friendly, very helpful and tried their very best to ensure we had a comfortable room, the Hotel itself let us all down. First room had a broken shower, so moved to another which wasn’t ready. 3rd time lucky we were left with a room with no working tv and upon showering, found this one was broken too. All other rooms fully booked. New owners recently taken over, they could do more in putting systems in place to ensure everything works as it should and rooms are tested fully, prior to being made available. A credit to the Hotel are its staff, who were friendly and helpful and did all they could to make the best of what they have available.

Wow where do I start with this hotel. First things first, I’m not one to complain (ever) so for me to take the time to write this review things must be bad. Ok let’s start with the one and only positive, the 2 staff members I have met have been friendly and helpful but sadly that’s where the positives most definitely end. The hotel is an absolute dump, £50 for a one night midweek stay is expensive to put it mildly. I went into the bar to grab a few drinks and found there to be no draught beers available expect cider so had to order 2 bottles of lager instead which worked out at £6.50 for a pint instead of £3.50. I ordered a Chicken Burger minus any sauce which surprise surprise turned up with sauce so that had to go back. Then after a long wait the food turned up this time thankfully minus the sauce on the burger but the onion rings and chips as can be seen on the picture looked like they had been chilling in the Sahara Desert on holiday judging by how dry they looked and tasted. Thankfully only here for 1 night and looking forward to checking out in the morning. If your looking for a cheap and cheerful night away consider elsewhere as this hotel will leave you more than disappointed. Never in a million years would I recommend anyone to stay at this hotel.
