Taking into account the cost of the room, my expectations were low but even so I was very disappointed in this hotel. The pictures used to advertise it must be years old. It is badly in need of renovation. The communal carpets are filthy and the room was badly in need of redecoration. The bathroom light continually flashed, the toilet roll holder fell off as soon as I touched it and the tap on the sink was very slack. Despite the radiator being turned off it was very hot and remained so all night. Not ideal when the window only opened a couple of inches. I won’t be back regardless of the cost.

Area felt unsafe

Area felt unsafe. Building looks abandoned on arrival as you have to go through the side entrance. Lady could not find our booking which wasn't a great start, no apology once she eventually found it. Room was finished very badly, paint everywhere, including on the walls in the bedroom, the bathroom and even the curtains as well as the mirrors. Shower did not work. Room smelt old. Questionable stains on the furniture too... In general, a poor stay in a badly maintained room. Pay the extra and stay elsewhere, anywhere. We even had an extra guest with a big web as his home (spider)Worst hotel I'v

Not a great looking place externally, looked run down and closed, not helped by a poorly lit car park and no clear direction to the reception which was right at the back and again, not welcoming. Only the number of cars and vans there, convinced us it was open. Then, the access door was tied open. Not sure if was a fire door, i guess not. Could have been a better recovery if when we found the reception, the receptionist lady was more tentative. She had her head down in some paperwork, which is fine, but look up and say something, like 'hi, ill be with you in a moment' just acknowledge us. Anyw
