Worst ever
Pros:

Nothing!!! I booked this because I’m a single lady and I put parking in my filters, I always do this so I don’t have the worry of being alone in the dark on unfamiliar roads. When I arrived I quickly realised that there was literally space for 2 cars and I had already committed to going out again. The man smelt of alcohol who opened the door, took me to the room told me the fridge was on I pointed out it wasn’t, then when I talked about parking when I returned in an hour or so told me it wasn’t guaranteed, when I told him I needed parking and didn’t want to have to walk down roads at night with junkies on them( I passed at least 5 junkies on the road prior to this one) the man simply said not guaranteed. I asked if he could reserve it for me he said no. I told him the booking.com adverts misleading as it said parking he said it wasn’t because some people got it. I told him I didn’t want to stay without parking and could he please cancel the booking he then said no I had to do it and could I leave and that if I was nice I could have had parking! I didn’t tell him he was drunk because I just wanted to get out of there. Not a nice man don’t believe the filter when it says parking because like he said not guaranteed. The bed had a winter quilt on it and the place was like a hippie commune. Nothing against hippies but when you work long hours including lots of driving you want something decent. Would absolutely recommend everyone avoids this place ( unless you are chilled out and this is your vibe) awful experience.

Cons:

Whole experience absolutely awful, I was tired after a long drive and had to deal with a weirdo.
