Absolutely horrendous.
Pros:

Location the only positive.

Cons:

No aircon. Not communicated prior to booking (told us the heating wasn’t working via email, no mention of no aircon or suitable aircon units / fans provided). Staff not available at check in. Staff attempting to check in multiple people and complete multiple tasks at same time causing confusion and delay. Rats visible in downstairs, room to left (stairway), blood stain on pillow (image captured).

Disgraceful, poor service and tired looking room with no air con working in a heat wave and had no fans to give us. Has
Cons:

The reception staff were rude and extremely slow to check people in.
The air con was broken and the room was easily 40 degrees which was unbearable so had to leave and refuse to stay the night.
Still waiting for a response to my complaint email, still waiting for a return call from the hotel manager after phoning in to speak to them following day. Still waiting for my full refund which I was informed would be sorted when I handed my room key back.

A pretty uncomfortable night. No aircon despite 30 degree temperature.
Pros:

Hottest day of the year, arrived with 3 young children and were told that the air conditioning was not working. Nightmare temperatures in the hotel and the rooms.

Cons:

No aircon despite advertised and could have warned in advance or moved us elsewhere. Really poor service and no refund offered
