Awful
Pros:

Nothing. Awful place to stay.

Cons:

Everything wasn’t good. The dirt on the beige carpet in the room was so dirty couldn’t put my feet on it. If you have lung issues please don’t go in there.

Don’t offer rooms that aren’t available
Pros:

I booked, it was a good deal, despite the poor reviews. It was already getting pretty late, getting towards 7pm, and I was just about to head over when I received a message cancelling my booking due to ‘mechanical issues’, and that they were ‘sorry for the inconvenience’. All nearby hotels were full or demanding stupid last minute prices, leaving me stranded. Not impressed.

Pros:

Сарай сараем. Вся сеть этих гостиниц - это грязные, обшарпаные номера за низкую цену.
Хорошее расположение. Чистое постельное бельё. Круглосуточное самопоселение через WhatsUp - будльте готовы, что Вам нужен интэрнет и 5-10 минут на то, чтобы получить код для входа в гостиницу и в номер.

Cons:

Ковролин в номере чистят примерно 1 раз в году, не чаще. Но я был к этому готов и имел при себе такпочки:). Плесень в душевой, и сама душевая кабинка грязная очень

Dirty carpets!
Pros:

Booked well in advance and got a good price. Managed to get one of the 2 parking spaces onsite (not bookable, just lucky!).

Cons:

The carpets throughout were filthy, black all around the shower. No bedside lamps.

My stay was like the Christmas film ‘it’s a wonderful life’ only without the happy ending. Bleak.

Hades is more hospitable

Cons:

The fact I was lied to on numerous occasions

Awful
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

It was so expensive and it was filthy, had to get bedsheets changed as there was what looked like public hairs all over the bed, the double bed was just 2 singles pushed together and I had to check myself in over the phone rather than the 2 members of staff at the desk helping me check in

Shit
Cons:

The fact that I had a rat trap in my room by the end of the bed and the fact there were pubic hairs in the shower and sink

A comfortable nights stay
Pros:

Really nice shower. Comfy bed. Reasonable tea and coffee facilities.

Room access codes were a nice way to unlock room.

Cons:

The tv was a little small for the room. Functional but felt a bit of an after thought.

Also there was soap in the shower that was unwrapped and the packets of shower gel were already open and partially used. Would have been nice to have fresh toiletries.

Emergency cheap overnight stop
Pros:

The bathroom was clean and in better condition than the room itself

Cons:

Initially I couldnt access the hotel as I had not received instructions. There are no staff on hand.
The room was basic, shabby furniture, TV missing (but not the remote!), dirty stained carpet, stained ceiling.
