Cons:

This is by no means a 4 star hotel.The bathroom was tiny and very dirty. There was no mirror in the room. There was also something that looked suspiciously like poo under the bed.

Failed to gain entry
Pros:

I can't give a review on this hotel ? , as I failed to gain entry through the front door . I turned up at 7pm and 7.45pm , and couldn't find the front door keypad I was given a code to use on .Always beware of hotels that look empty and unoccupied by anyone.

Cons:

Pros:

The price

Cons:

Everything. No staff available. Not clear instructions on how to get inside. Windows had huge gaps, big draft. Noisy with road traffic. Shower pressure weak.
Most of ground floor looks to be under repair. Definitely not 4 star rated. Description on booking site completely misleading and not what was expected when arrived. Also had to let another guest in as they struggled to understand directions to enter unmanned building

Unfortunately the worst hotel i have stayed at.
Pros:

Leaving was the best thing ever.

Cons:

Bathroom wasnt very clean, toilet paper in the bowl. The shower had low pressure and took about 8 minutes to get warm. There is no staff or room service. The ad is a bit false advertising, and it's in a location where trucks pass all night.

It’s cheaper for a reason
Pros:

The price is cheaper but for a good reason..
The room was clean

Cons:

the location is a little out of town and on the main traffic line for trucks at all hours is above a closed down pub so you are up stairs..
Tv needs to be attached to your phone to work we couldn’t get the wifi working from the property and on messaging them was told we would need to connect through our own phones.
No bar fridge or any kitchen items in the family rooms had to use the communal kitchen which had only bread knifes available with dirty plates and cups and no washing liquid to clean (container was empty for 2 days)
Communal fridges with no communal milk available even though said tea and coffee available and stated on the listing, we had our food eaten and our milk taken by others…
NO STAFF ON SITE they arrive to clean and leave we had a issue with another family of 6 cooking Indian food at 11pm and being very loud, the kitchen has no fan vent to remove smell which meant it came straight into our rooms as we were next to the kitchen and then ment on cold nights we had to have all windows open to sleep as others cooking in the microwave only available kitchen…

We looked for other accommodation to move night one but sadly no other options were available BE CAREFUL they lock you in with non refundable payment.

Terrible
Cons:

The Kitchen was a construction site. Trucks going past all through the night. The bed covered in dirty stains. The shower was less then acceptable and was about 40 years old. No sound proofing and every time the people in the room beside me moved in their bed my bed moved.. I have seen better facilities in a camping camp.
