Should be shutdown
Shocking! Decor looked like a war zone once you left the dining area, and the hotel was left totally unmanned overnight to the point when I called the telephone number in the morning just to check out and get my car which was blocked in the car park. I was told no-one was there, they’d be there between 8-9 (even though breakfast was due to start at 7 and dining area / reception was all locked up and in the dark)! After them suggesting I knock on room 18 and ask that resident to move their van so I could get out, I persuaded them that that was the hotels responsibility, and eventually the manager agreed to leave his bed and drive to the hotel???? Is it not against all regulations to leave a hotel totally unmanned ??? What if there was an emergency? Who is checking no-one unwanted enters and that doors etc are locked??? What if there is a fire!!! Un-blinking-believable Avoid this hotel at all costs if you value your life

Well... I’m not coming back
Arrived and as we got shown in, my mate turned to hold the door for me and the hotel man rudely didn’t to my friend in front, so as he turned the door slammed in his face. Then they told me I hadn’t paid for the room when I had ... showed proof and asked hotel.com to speak to them which they did- they saw no reason for any problems. The hotel man didn’t make much of an attempt to sort it. The hotel stunk of weed and was generally unkept. The room was disgusting, dirty and worn. The floor was filthy, the bed sheets looked old and were faded. The drawers were dirty and had dead bugs in them. There were stains everywhere... the mattress the floor. The pictures are deceiving. The website looks good - reality was very different. I didn’t expect amazing quality for the price we paid. But basic hygiene thought would be standard. Not all bad. They did have customer parking.

Good location. Very friendly and helpful staff but unfortunately my bathroom appeared not be cleaned after previous stay but when I pointed it out, it was immediately actioned. Value for money accommodation so don't expect anything fancy. Staff are really nice and friendly.

I liked the fact the room came with a fan, and was airy, clean, and relatively quiet. I had quite heavy luggage and found it disappointing there was no lift and no offer to help me carry my bags up to my second floor room. The stairs and corridors are really narrow which makes moving with heavy or big luggage really awkward. Breakfast lacked a variety of choice and was substandard. Check out was a nightmare as I was in a rush and had to wait ten minutes, calling out 'hello' and trying to ring the number for someone to even appear in the reception area. However, if you are just looking for somewhere relatively cheap and you don't have a great deal of luggage and you don't mind that you might have to hang around to check out then this place is great. The bed was very comfortable, and the shower was good, and despite the few issues I personally had, I would stay here again.

This property was exactly as we expected. The staff was outstanding. Some of the other travelers weren’t always courteous of others but that is no fault of the business.
