The water was absolutely horrible. It was hardly a trickle to take a shower. We were out on a floor with a group of late teen/early 20's soccer/football team that was extremely loud and inconsiderate. Never waste your money!

The hotel itself is unique architecturally. It's very eye catching. Unfortunately it seems like it's on the same level it was at 30 years ago. We tried calling room service several times but we didn't get an answer. Places offering better facilities are more reasonably priced.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room offered was dirty , bath tab , And all floors very dirty had to scrub the bath to enable me to use it. The Television had crackles , picture quality poor and haze in the end I could not connect to any TV channel at all . The hotel safe was broken not able to use to keep vulnerables. Considering that I booked this stay back in September 2025 no effort was made to ensure that I get offered a clean room . The carpets laid along the corridors were all very dusty and smelt due to lack of maintenance. I have been a guest at the Jameson crests on and off for over 10yrars I have noticed that the standards of cleanliness there has gone down , the place is no longer fit for purpose. I cannot fault the reception staff they tried their best to address my concerns
