Disappointing visit
Pros:

Convenient location in Redcar, stayed four times now

Cons:

No.4 ground floor had a very badly stained carpet, rough plastered areas on wall behind the bed, you cannot say it has recently undergone renovation. The shower base felt very spongy and unsafe.
The barrier to the secure parking area was missing.
Worst of all was the fire alarm went off at 5.30am and took 3 hours before the cleaner arrived to silence it, who then needed guest help to silence and reset. Due to the ear piercing alarm, we were forced to leave the building and walk the streets, before anywhere was open to have a drink or breakfast. This is totally unacceptable!

Only stay here as a last resort.
Pros:

It was very clean and the cleaners were very friendly. It was nicely decorated but in a bad state of disrepair. Room size was good.

Cons:

The room was in a very bad state of disrepair. Very bad noise/loud music all weekend/into the night from a nearby venue. Sound proofing in the room was non existent. Front door looked like it has been kicked in multiple times. Parking was very limited, not enough for each room. Room for 5 or 6 cars max.

Most importantly it's not safe to stay here. There is no support or anyone to contact. The phone number provided in the room isn't connected and they don't answer the phone on the number they sent and messges are ignored. Customer sevice is unbelievably terrible. There was an emergency situation early in the early hours of the morning but they didn't get back to me until the afternoon the following day. If anything goes wrong you're on your own e.g. if you get locked out you will be completely stuck. It seems to be really common to have issues with door codes, happened to someone while I was staying there and they couldn't access their room.

The stay was honestly just awful. Only stay here as a last resort.

Basic accommodation which could’ve a lot better with a little more care.
Pros:

There was on site parking but it would fit 6 cars at a pinch. It was easy to use the access codes to the building and the unit and it is a very short stroll to the waterfront.

Cons:

There were no toiletries other than hand soap. It was not an extra large double bed and there were only 2 very thin pillows. The shower base felt like you would fall through it. There was no dish towel to dry dishes - when we pulled out bowls from the cupboard, they had water in them that dripped on the floor. The toaster came with a warning so we didn’t use it and like many guests reported before us, the tv didn’t work. One of the towels had a terrible stain on it.
