Checking in was on and staff were friendly! Going to our room it got hotter and hotter! On first look to just drop our things the room was ok but extremely hot! We stayed two night and each night was unbearably hot! At one point I woke at midnight and thought I was going to pass out as it felt about 50 degrees in the room! On our first morning we had a shower, which was needed after the amount of sweating from the heat! However getting out of the shower over bath the bathroom floor was like a lake! There were two holes in the bottom of the bath so a lot of the water just went onto the floor! The drain was also FULL of hair so the water in both the bath and sink too forever to drain….i was not picking out someone else’s head of hair! We did tell reception of our issues after the first night and we were told “we will try and get a maintenance person to take a look”. Well nothing done so we didn’t chance a shower the second morning depite smelling from sweating all night again! We checked out and we’re not asked at all how our stay was and we put our luggage in the store room to collect later! We went back later in the day to collect our luggage to find a Que of people who had waited for a member of staff for over 30 minutes,they had tried to call the numbers and the bell but no answer! I just wanted our luggage so I tried the storage door and it was open,I grabbed our stuff! Not very secure! A cleaner then walked through reception, who didn’t know where all the staff were!

They scam . When I checked it , they need me to fill up online form. The app requires me to pay 30 pounds deposit and claim refundable. The app is not processing if I am not paid anyway.i trusted that i have not captured any screenshot for prove. Of course the kept my deposit and replied me it was non refundable. They are scammer. When I first I saw the fitted sheet upper dirty. I messaged them no response

Disliked: Cleanliness
Room Cleanliness: The room was in an unacceptable condition. There was a large, unsightly stain on the carpet beside the bed, the mattress had a prominent red stain, the bathroom ceiling was blackened—presumably due to condensation or mould—and the shower only produced cold water. Noise Levels: Excessive noise from downstairs persisted throughout the night, making it extremely difficult to rest. Staff Service: There was no staff presence at the front desk when assistance was needed. Additionally, the dedicated phone line for the Duty Manager went straight to voicemail, leaving no way to escalate concerns. Breakfast Experience: The breakfast service was chaotic. The chef was unable to fulfil orders, the food that was eventually served was undercooked, and the waiting staff were left to manage a high volume of complaints from other dissatisfied guests.
