The room was clean the bed was comfortable but the shower area needed major repair. The flush button on the toilet was broken,the soap dispenser was broken and the shower doors didn't meet. The door into the room was difficult to unlock. The Hotel needed updating generally.

We stayed in room 17 a family room. Perfect for the 2 adults and one teenager. Room was big and clean. Very comfortable beds. We paid a very low rate for the room and I was very pleased with the overall stay. Will be staying again. Many thanks.

ELAINE, MONCTON

This is VERY basic accommodation, which the website somehow manages to make look cosy & inviting! Additionally, there was no hot water, & the room had two distinct unpleasant odors - one, the strong smell of greasy cooking from the kitchen, & two, an underlying musty smell. We cut our stay short from three nights to one night.

Thank you I enjoyed my stay very much. It would’ve been nice to have mugs in the bedroom to make a lovely mug full of tea and also a couple of biscuits would be nice,but thank you for keeping it nice and warm. It was lovely and quiet. I didn’t have the breakfast with you so can’t comment on that. Sherry met me and booked me in when I arrived charming lady. Thank you

Polite person on check in and apart from leaving the following morning them were the highlights of this hotel. I will remember the Unicorn for all the wrong reasons, imagine a room that hasnt been touched for the last 20 years plus but for the 30 minutes quick clean after every stay. Absolutely no evidence of a deep clean clean in this place. We got to the room, an absolute disgrace. Dusty - Dirty glasses on coffee tray - Dirty coffee cups - Dirty chrome plated light switch next to bed (disnt touch it) - Dirty black, aged grout in bathroom floor tiles - dirty bathroom tiles around the edges - Light bulbs different colour whites and some not illuminating and 1 in the bathroom flickering - Dirty head board (wall) please see the pictures, absolutley unbelivable... 30 minutes till our restaraunt reservation, bedding was clean so we grinned are bared it.... never ever again would I stay at this place ever ever again.. thos review is going to be sent to Mastons complsints department.. Please see pictures On check out, I was ready to voice my dissapointment on the room but then realised why there is a key box at the car park exit door, im sure they dont want to hear the complaints... Never ever again!!

Overnight stay for niece's 21st party

Excellent value for money, cheerful friendly staff (Paula in particular worth a mention), room comfortable, clean and tidy with good facilities and towels. A little worn and shabby in the public areas.

Really comfortable beds and clean room. good location overlooking the Trent and lovely riverside walks. Didnt have a room at the front so our view was of the air conditioning unit, so not to good. rooms at the front would have great views. Good indiand restaurant nearby. For what we paid I was well satisfied and would stay again
