Pros:

This hotel was NOT a hotel.

It states it's newly refurbished ..I had Room 14
It was NOT clean ...
I paid for a double en suite room... I got a room with a sink

The sink was dirty

There was NO wardrobe but drawers with my handles

Cons:

The rook wasn't clean

The drawer's had NO handles on half of them

The wallpaper was peeking off .the carpet wss dirty

There was NO wardrobe

The boys in the rooms next to me were constantly blasting music from a stereo & speakers till midnight ...

The I realised there were NOT paying quests but renting the rooms ..
The owner clearly didnt care about guest's

The tv had NO remote or buttons on the actual tv to watching had to wait from lunchtime till 8 pm for him to come out to look the eventually had to change tvs so I could at least have one
The shower rooms weren't clean

The people living there were constantly slamming doors and up & down smoking weed .

Not the best not the worst.
Pros:

The lady was lovely and let us stay over last minute

Cons:

Shared toilets , people weren’t hygienic , the shower was disgusting, first time we went to use toilet it was full of poo not flushed. Light didn’t work in one of the toilets , our tv in our room didn’t work , the radiator didn’t work so had a little plug in one but it stunk like gas. The room smelt chemically which wasn’t great as I’m heavily pregnant. Mould on the roof. Microwave was dirty. Could just hear people having sex walls are paper thin. Crackheads outside the hotel
