Avoid!
Pros:

Location is all that this hotel has going for it.

Cons:

Where do I start, avoid booking at all costs, the place is an absolute disgrace. The owners, directors, manager and staff should be utterly disappointed in themselves. I have never experienced anything as filthy as this place, as you can see from the photos it's unclean with years of dirt and grime embedded into the fabric of the building. They need to reset the whole place by closing down and stripping the place from top to bottom and cleaning. The entrance from the street hasn't been vavumed for a long time, the tile skirting has fallen off and just left there, the windows in the entrance are full of blue bottle flies the carpet is filthy. The carpet under the edge of the door is frayed, the shower tray is disgusting, there was splash marks of something up the wall, the electric radiator is hanging off the wall and the smell in the room was vile. DONT BOOK THIS HOTEL you will thank me later.
