As the only option for 4 people(3 adults and 1 teen) was a windowless family room this is what we booked. Our digital keys didnt work when we got to our room and had to be reprogrammed. One light over the prison room type bunk didn't work and even with the ceiling light on the room was dark. Bunks squeak, don't seem robust and ladder attached by elastic bands. Large step into the bathroom which was a trip hazard as it stuck out a lot when coming from the bunk area. The room was way too warm. Had to go to reception at 1.30am to get two fans for the room in addition to the one provided in the room, and then return with the two fans as they were broken. Told they had had other complaints and that they would adjust the air cond only to be told by another member of staff that air cond was controlled centrally and they couldn't do anything. Even though we knew the room was windowless, we did expect the room to be cooler and have brighter lights like in the advertising photos.|Waited for my request to be called by the manager to happen: 6 hours later I called Aiden direct who then said they would forward my request again to the hotel manager: in the end, one of the reception staff phoned me offering me a room with a window which they said would suit us rather than a refund...the manager didn't have the decency to ring us in person instead, they got another member of staff to do it: this new room was really only suitable for 3 adults (again which was why we didn't book it in the first place) which was obvious when the room only had 3 glasses and 3 sets of towel, and a double bed and a sofa bed which was 1.5 bed sized so we had to made do. We were given new digital keys which once again didn't work and had to be reprogrammed.|Carpets in the hotel landing were filthy and stained, corridors had a strange smell and multiple seats in the breakfast area which was also dark and too warm. |Trying to think of some positives about the hotel... the bedrooms were clean, room with window was brighter, staff on reception were pleasant, shuffleboard was good, hotel near bus stops. |Having stayed in Best Western hotels before, I expected more from this Best Western Aiden hotel and it very much disappointed.
