Communal stairs in need of a hoover , cups were all dirty inside and when we asked for another one for the third person that cup had all dried sugar in the bottom . The bathroom had been updated but the rest of the room was run down , wallpaper hanging off and trouble locking and unlocking the door . Games room had 3 things working and the rest broken. Didn’t have breakfast so I couldn’t review on that . Bed was good.

Booked a 2 day stay left after 1 day hotel was terrible and dirty. Got bit to death off bugs in the bed and room. Charged £10 to use the pool which is ridiculous considering we was staying there. Never stay again!

Room substandard. Nothing like the pictures, as many other reviews state. Room had recently been redecorated apart from parts showing mould and repairs. Sliding door to the toilet allowed outsiders to see in, pipe work was extremely noisy when on, shower only had boiling water (no matter the setting), lift wasn't working and subpar breakfast. Complained about the shower at the reception but promised to do something about it 'once we have checked out. We do not recommend.

My room was soo bad. The paper was coming off the walls mould in the corners it is just old and run down. But you can’t knock the staff really friendly and polite and genuinely nice people. I guess most of the properties are like this and I’ve heard horrible stories about other places to stay in this area. So it’s the best of a bad bunch!

I'd struggle to recommend this place. The room was fine, location was alright but that's about it. We had screaming and shouting in the hallway all night, calls to reception went unanswered and nothing was done. I only booked because it was cheap so get what you pay for,
