worst hotel experience
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Very disappointing stay. The carpets were extremely old, dirty, and full of dust, making the rooms feel unhygienic. There was no air conditioning or even a fan, and the rooms had a very unpleasant smell throughout our stay. This was the worst hotel experience I've ever had. After this, I'm seriously reconsidering using Booking.com, as the quality of this property was completely unacceptable.

Room clean and modern, staff very friendly, top service, we requested a cot and a room with aircon, everything was ready when we arrived. Location is perfect, many restaurants around, and Tesco is right next door. Parking was also easy and free.

Very good.
Pros:

Staff, location , cost, late night residents bar and room facilities were excellent.

Cons:

Sadly there is no A/C in my room which did make for a difficult nights sleep due to the extreme temperature in the room on probably one of the hottest days we’ve had for years…. But wouldn’t stop me booking this accommodation on cooler days.
