Shit
Pros:

Close to the town centre and free parking

Cons:

No glass in the window of the bathroom. Was just covered with plastics sheet. Mould in bathroom and on shower door seal. Dirty carpets. Parked walls and broken bedroom furniture.


Didn’t even stay both nights because of how bad it was, was unsafe to stay in. Refused a refund and owner was very defensive did not apologise

Pros:

Absolutely nothing

Cons:

Utterly filthy and foul smelling.
Health and safety should be informed!
Mould and damp, dirty linen,bodily fluids on walls, not hoovered, sticky furniture.
Went to four rooms and all of the same poor standard.
Should be closed down, not fit for purpose.

Hotel room dismal in need of some TLC
Pros:

The location was good down road from arcades and beach also close to bus stops,staff member (male) on reception was pleasant enough

Cons:

My room was terrible furniture that was broken draws in chest of draws was filthy glad I didn't put my clothes 1 coat hangers wardrobe so I lived out of my suit case for the week room is in desperate need for a refresh

The bathroom was very small could bairly fit lol
Also bathroom was dirty you could see mold around shower shower head kept dropping also shower needs fixing onto call properly as kept moving. Also mould on ceiling above shower a d peeling paint door to shower could also be replaced or cleaned as you could still see stains on glass after my showers,

Creaking floor boards outside room and banging doors from other guests.

Bedbugs also kept me awake at night didn't like the sound of bugs being in same bed as me vile

Also light in my room kept flicking

BETTER TO STAY AWAY FROM THE HOTEL

For what I paid it definitely not worth it
