The most horrific hotel experience
Pros:

Nothing. It was an utter disgrace and booking.com did nothing to help when I called and spoke

Cons:

We were given a disabled room and bathroom which was like a hospital room and not fit for purpose for an able bodied person and we cd not use the bathroom and it stunk with a dirty exposed drain and was substandard

Have been a guest here many times, disgusted at treatment and sneaky charges when you have left them
Pros:

Didn't have any, but people coming into Lobby were saying it was poor quality food

Cons:

Being charged £100 two days after checkout for apparently smoking in the Room, when 1 i have COPD and use a CPAP machine to sleep it uses oxygen and the kicker, neither my Partner or I smoke? We were on a ground floor and outside our window was a roof of extension of something and There were cigarette butt's and bottle caps etc getting thrown out window and landing outside our window it was disgusting, when I rang to complain about charge was spoke to dismissively, my company spend a lot of money in that Hotel every year, and on checkout was told everything was fine with our Bill, only to get charged 100 pound for something we didn't do, my group all felt the because we were Irish feeling.
