Pros:

Cheap

Cons:

The room smelled damp. The drain in the shower was blocked and the bathroom door was warped and wouldn’t shut. When I had a shower the whole bathroom flooded into the main bedroom carpet

Overall it was fine for one night but hotel needs some TLC
Pros:

The pool facilities were good and clean.
The bed was comfy and shower good.

Cons:

Needed a little TLC in areas. The room had a funny musty smell and there was a deodorant can from the previous stay down the side of the tv cabinet.
Breakfast was good but a few dirty plates and the hash brown was v crispy like it had been refried a number of times.
Lots of plates and wines glasses sitting outside rooms waiting to be taken away.
