This property shoukd not be able to be sold to families. I did not sleep in this property with my family as is felt unclean and did not meet any standards fit for a family to stay in. This should be downgraded on the site. It is falsely advertised as family accommodation. There was doot habdles falljmg off..sticly floors...it is above an Indian cuisine entrance. This property is a disgrace to the OYO chain and is a disgrace to be represented by Expedia.

Disappointing
A little hard to find as the name of the hotel is ‘Hawkes Hotel’ with a small sticker in the window saying ‘Dora’ A gentleman answered the door after a short while and gave us codes for the rooms and showed us how to use the locks, he was helpful. The place was a little dark and disheveled but for the price I wasn’t too surprised. The room was very much the same. Giant tv resting on top of a small wardrobe, fixtures not quite right. Toilet still grubby. The towels did seem clean, but the bed did not. There were hairs and a strange musty smell.. I ended sleeping on top of a towel and using my clothes as a blanket. I then read reviews and realised this is very much a thing at this ‘hotel’ I didn’t stay for breakfast so personally cannot comment on that. Price wise it was fairly cheap- considering it included breakfast but it seems so many would not dare eat here .. but for the same price another hotel was offering the same and had excellent reviews. I was in a rush and saw a rating of 6.8 and ‘good’ on hotels.com so trusted that. Never again! If you are desperate and need a place to crash for the night it’ll do.

The hotel is in very poor condition, very cold as our radiators didn't work and it was below freezing, there was a few issues however glad we only had 1 night there. The beds are smaller than in ads, they were doubles not king size that we booked. Not worth the price.

The hotel appeared to have two names so took us a while to find the small sign in the window that identified it as The Dora. The gentleman who booked us in was very helpful, even allowing us to park at the back of the hotel. As for the room, it was clean, the bed had been nailed together to prevent it falling apart, the mattress was uncomfortable to say the least and the pillows may as well not have been there. It was the first night of the year with sub zero temperatures and the room was freezing with the thinnest duvet I’ve ever seen. I did not risk a shower as I’d not brought my own towels and the ones provided looked threadbear and older than the hotel. Breakfast was included in the price and served from 0900, there was cereal and toast available, the butter was mouldy and when asked for some more I was brought a block of butter from the kitchen which I declined. With my family there were 7 of us for breakfast and they did not cope well, the bacon and hash browns were very over cooked to the point of being inedible. Overall having booked the cheapest hotel in the area I guess I got what I paid for.

Worst place I’ve ever stayed!!!
DO NOT BOOK It!!! This hotel was honestly the worst place I have ever stayed in my life. It was old, dirty, smelled and we felt awful the whole night. People were making noises all through the night, the tv was placed at an angle on top of the wardrobe, it only had 1 channel and the remote didn’t work. Breakfast was included, but we got out as quick as we could in the morning, and had breakfast elsewhere. I wouldn’t normally give a bad review, but please don’t waste your money here, it’s absolutely terrible!!!
