Cons:

We got scammed here for the first time ever after using booking.com service. The was no hotel at the address. No one was answering there phones. We got told it has happened to a few people now and we checked the reviews and seen the bad ones saying they have been scammed. I had my partner and kids with me at the time and had to book another hotel down the road in an emergency. Worst experience ever. I've even had no luck in contacting booking.com so I have had to report the fraud through my bank. This hotel needs taking down off booking.com

Very disappointed about what we found. Would definitely not recommend this hotel.
Pros:

The location was ideal for our needs

Cons:

Cleanliness of the bedding, cups and room were poor. There were no hosts on site, there was at least 2 weeks post behind the front door on entry which tells me owners/cleaners had not been for a while. There was no milk for a drink, inside the kettle was dirty. The information received prior to gain entry with use of key pad codes was clear. However, the room was not clean, drink cups were dirty, shower was dirty, broken and rough floor tile and broken window sill. The most important thing, the dark coloured bed sheets were certainly not clean and clearly hadn't been changed. They certainly did not smell or look clean. There was even a bug crawling on the sheets.
The pictures on the booking.com site were definitely not the same as what we found.
