Woeful check in, lumpy old mattress, not great tbh

Absolutely shocking check in, ignorant member of staff told us to wait & then he just walked off. After a little while a different member of staff saw us standing there & came over. She could see how aggravated we were, offered us a free drink each & tried to offer good service, but it was a very poor check in. They clearly skimp on the maintenance too, lots of bodging in the room we were in.

Very basic hotel

Basic hotel. Handy location close to my business meeting. One of the bed pillows had a strong smell of nicotine. Water drain in shower clogged, free breakfast just ticks the box as long as you avoid coffee. Good value for money considering location.
