It was so bad, I left one night into my three night stay
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Disgusting, I’ve been around the world and stayed in 3rd world country’s, and in my 36 years of loving this was the worst hotel room I’ve ever been in, was truly shocking with dryed blood up the wall, broken window, broken blinds shockingly load creaking floorboard and an interior like something out of a hillbilly shack

Horrendous
Pros:

The only positive was location

Cons:

Absolutely shocked by the room we had , the sink had been smashed so was patched up with filler , the filler around bath sink was black. The floor in bathroom had not been cleaned for a long time ! Thick with hair , I really didn’t want to stay but had no choice ! The pictures on website are very old ones it now looks nothing like this ! The room was old dated very poor ! Ax for people saying that it was cheap so it’s ok , no dirtiness is not ok. The sink was unsafe , cheap shouldn’t mean the lowest of standards ,

Very friendly and nice staff
Pros:

The person managing the hotel reception was very friendly and excellent. There were free chocolate powder mixes and coffee, tea that he encouraged visitor to have anytime of the day. The chocolate powder kept was so good I had several a day. The bed was fine too. The only thing is that if they invest a little bit in putting some hooks or hangers to keep clothes, a little bit of bathroom furnishings to make the bathroom look cosy, and some other stuff which wouldnt take much money, then this place would feel really comfortable and cosy. But the bathroom was quite sparse unlike normal hotel bathrooms. Even though the hot water shower was the best shower I have probably ever experienced with a lot of hot water available for long periods. So all in all- I feel the receptionist and people are great but the management should invest a little bit more in the rooms.

It was close
Pros:

The bed was clean

Cons:

I thought that the parking charge for your car was a little expensive as it was only for 4 nights. The whole place smelt of smoke, also the transport to the airport.
Coffee/ tea making facilities in the room needed.

Wouldn’t recommend
Pros:

Somewhere to stop for the night. Has a late 11am checkout.

Cons:

Where do I start.Lock is very loose to get in the building. Reception is a mess, sheets everywhere. Room wasn’t clean-hairs all over bathroom floor, coffee spill stains up the walls, sink in bathroom held together by filler. No tea/coffee facilities in the room itself. Wouldn’t recommend

Fair facilities for the price and kind proprietor
Pros:

Clean a need comfortable bed, new products in bathroom, white fluffy towels

Cons:

Unfortunately the walls are very thin so noise transfers easily and it sounds as though others are in the room with you
