From outside the property looked terribly run down, the street had lots of rubbish & broken glass & after reading some reviews, we nearly didn’t go in! We then thought we’d go & check in & look at our room before making our decision & taking our luggage in.
On checking in we were asked for our debit card, even though we had already paid in full using our credit card. Their intention was to take a pound out of our account & then refund it! We found this unusual & it made us suspicious, so we declined.
We checked our room & was surprised at the cleanliness, it was spotless. The bathroom was sparkling, although a couple of fittings were broken/missng. The towels were lovely. The bedding was white & crisp. The carpet was stained, but this is not unusual in hotels. We had a kitchenette with tea & coffee. There was a hairdryer & even an iron & ironing board. We had an upstairs where the comfy bed was, but the stairs creaked badly. We had a big balcony too. The voils were ripped in a couple of places. The room was overly hot with no heating controls to be seen, so we had the windows open.
The communal areas & lift were clean & tidy.
We decided to stay for one night & we had a comfortable undisturbed stay (just a bit hot).
Considering we had only paid just under £36 for the two of us, all in all it was a bargain.
Due to the run down area we wouldn’t choose to stay again.
