The staff at the property are friendly and serviceable, but prior to our stay never answered emails with basic questions. Also the room was very small and outdated, tv size was the same as my laptop and there are very few outlets to charge various devices at the same time.

Stayed here due to a cancelled train. Paid £130 for the pleasure. Bed was stained and plug hole was completely blocked by hairs. Not sure when it was cleaned. Won't be rushing back anytime soon.

Overall had a great time staying there..

Excellent location! Close to a lot of bars, clubs, shopping and restaurants as well as a subway line. I did think it was strangethat there was no attempt to perform room service while we were staying there. It was only four days so it wasn’t a big deal and I don’t like being disturbed, but I would’ve thought that they would’ve tried to clean the room it at some point.. it’s a value hotel so I wasn’t expecting anything fancy. There was also an issue with the room key. We went back twice and had the key even replaced, but at any given time there was only one key that worked.

I had a terrible experience at this hotel. Over a 4-night stay, the bed sheets were never changed, and there was no room cleaning at all — not even basic housekeeping in the morning. Towels were not replaced, and despite requesting it, toilet tissue was never provided on the third day. The room lacked even a basic telephone, making communication with the front desk difficult. To make matters worse, the receptionist was rude and unhelpful when we raised these issues. Overall, a very poor experience. I would not recommend staying here.
