I regretted, my son’s birthday was a total cold time
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Smelling, dirty sofa and carpet, broken ceiling, broken soap dispenser, cold room-poor working radiator, epileptic internet WiFi connection, poor breakfast . I sent a message for a compensation- poor response. Promised to give carrier radiator but they didn’t return. We check out 8 o clock because of the horrible experience. My wife got cold from there due to dust and cold

DISGUSTING/DIRTY AND GROSE
Pros:

Nothing apart from location, this property is disgusting the place is really dirty, holes everywhere, paint splashed everywhere the carpet has been played over carpet for quickness and the hoover has never seen this carpet it’s filthy. Also please research this hotel has been hiding that it has bed bugs and all sorts have bites on my arms also, couldn’t wait to leave which we did and no refund or compensation, also it’s cost to park your car in there car park awful just awful. I’m not surprised by the lack of hygiene shower was hanging off the wall and it was bloody roasting as well, had a fan that didn’t work on ground level and windows had no safety catches on them people walking about all over the place like they stayed here long term it was not clean at all. Service was crap no warm welcome etc nothing. Did get asked if guy next door talks to much to call reception so he’s there long term then. Honestly NEVER WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL

Cons:

Everything as above.

Sleepless
Pros:

Checking out

Cons:

Barely slept - room doors noisy, road noise coming through the windows and plastic pillows.

On the plus side, bed sheets and towels clean.

Back to reality, room not ready, next room by the road, blocked shower, dusty round kettle, dirty windows and just generally knackered, which was poorly hidden with lashings of white paint.

Paid £235 for one night that should have cost tops £35. Wore shoes in the room which was a first for me.
