Strong negative sentiment: multiple reports of filth (hair in bed), mouldy shower curtain, bad smells, overall poor cleanliness and a dirty reception area.
Service
9.5
Generally positive personal interactions noted (staff described as friendly and helpful; one staff member 'Anthony' singled out), but operational issues (reception unattended at times, poor handling of late-night incidents) temper the experience.

Mixed-to-negative: rooms are described as spacious but many issues reported (outdated bathroom suite, creaky floorboards, mould, bad smells, hair in bed).

Highly neglected hotel that has potential to be very good
Pros:

The building layout design was very good with specious rooms, when it was first built many years ago. But, it had deteriorated to beyond liveable conditions on the ground floor with extremely bad damp and mould, especially the first room we were offered (No 12). The damp smell was unbearable, so the staff kindly offered us one on the first floor (No. 20), which was a bit better. I would highly recommend the entire Hotel to be refurbished after the necessary damp proofing work with new carpets and decorating. I would also recommend a health & safety executive visit for public safety as the property has been neglected for basic repairs and maintenance for many years. I would certainly not use it again (even for free) until a full refurbishment has been carried out.

Cons:

Damp & smell with rotten decor

it was pleasant, staff were nice and polite. worth your money for the night, food nearby shop nearby. can’t complain for
Pros:

it was a bed for the night nothing more nothing less. bathroom clean, few stains on the sheets but nothing that looked suspicious.

Cons:

the rooms were scorching hot. you get a fan but didn’t do anything. it said on the wall it was 23.5° in the room but as soon as you stepped out it was cooler in the hallways. the pillows were flat and you only get one each so we put the spare duvet along the top of the bed. that was the only issue we had with the property.

Nothing

Cons:

Nothing I like about the room, it was smelling of cigarette smoke. The carpet was dirty, the bed was bad, unstable and squeaky sounds.
