Stay clear at all costs
Pros:

Probably the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in

Cons:

Smelt of stale smoke. Smoke dictator was tape up. Sink was cracked. No tea or coffee making facilities. Noisy all night so zero sleep. Shower would not stay on wall.

Pros:

The staff were very helpful and reasonable. We had all the facilities we needed for a basic night before an early morning flight. We had assistance calling a taxi and they were able to take us into the airport for £16

Great staff and nice large room.
Pros:

The staff were fantastic. We arrived late at night, almost eleven and I got lost so they drove out to meet us! So kind! The room was great, very big with two large double beds and a very modern bathroom with hot shower.

Cons:

It was all absolutely fine but the room was a bit cold.

Pros:

Close to the airport so made it easy for our early morning flight.

Cons:

We actually left the property early due to another guest screaming and kicking off and the police actually having to come to the hotel. She was drunk and all she cared about was screaming for her “sniff” the manager was so lovely and understanding of why we wanted to leave early and the rest of the staff were very apologetic - no fault of theirs at all or a reflection on them. The bedroom was abit outdated and could do with a clean up - definitely not anything like the pictures I was made to believe.
