Cheap and quiet hotel. Room could do with a refresh, and tv didn’t work. Mattress could also do with being replaced. For a one night stay it was ok.

The room was very unclean and dusty, the bathrooms was bad and not properly cleaned. The water didn’t flush out from the wash basin, requested to cancel or reduce the dates to stay but they denied telling there would be no refund and my mom has asthma and she suffered being there for couple of days.

This property does not match the pictures on line. Mattress was in horrible condition, you could feel every spring. Walls needed a good clean, shower had mold in it, back of toilet was discussing, shower didn’t drain. TV was broken and was told it was going to be repaired, never happened after 3 days. Walls are paper thin and you can hear the bowel sounds from other rooms. Would not recommend.

When I arrived at the hotel and went into my room it was filled with black mould which I find a serious health and safety hazard especially for an establishment where you’d have people pay to stay. This is completely unacceptable and I will be dealing with this properly.

If I were 20 years old again and traveling with friends, this hotel would have been fine. The rooms were extremely small and I couldn't even turn around in the shower. Young people wouldn't mind; I did.
