Very substandard

I found the room to be in pretty poor condition, Paint peeling, there was boards missing so exposed underfloor near the toilet, Aircon struggled to work efficiently and noisy. Bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable. I stay at a lot of hotels for work, and this has been the worst one in a long time.

I was given a room which had black mould on the ceiling and wall. Above the hand basin tiles were missing exposing more mould. The light in the bathroom had the cover missing exposing wires. All in all it was dangerous. I complained to staff who thankfully gave me another room which was still filthy but the facilities were at least in working order. IT SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN
