Zoe

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
The positives: great location and has a car park (£5 a day) Bad parts: Check in is from 2:30 but rooms available from 4. We arrived at 5:30 and told we needed to wait 45 minutes because no rooms were clean. No empathy or apology for this. The hotel is VERY tired and looks like it was decorated in the late 60’s. On entering the hotel there is a strong smell of smoke due to people Congregating near there smoking. The quality of fixtures and fittings is around one grade below a travel lodge everything is VERY basic. The rooms don’t even have towels for example. The room was cheap and the location was good for us but despite this we wouldn’t return.

The hotel is in need of a complete renovation. The hallways are gloomy and have a prison feel. The wood chip needs to go, carpets replacing and the furniture updating. We were in a family room and transitted through many fire doors to get to our room. The room was large and sufficient, but only had 1 towel bundle for a single person.the water pressure is also woeful! On a plus note it was cheap and the breakfast good. The staff were polite and parking only £5
