Stayed as single woman. My room was grubby, and hole in bathroom wall.
Bed linen and bathroom looked clean. Once returning to my room, the lock had broken, staff wanted me to wait till following morning to get my things out, advised I needed my belongings for the evening and night. They broke the door down and moved me to another room. This room was as equally grubby, next to a fire door which was hanging off its hinges!!! The room stank of cigarette smoke. The heater was rusted, the sink in the bathroom wouldn't drain, there was dirty marks on the walls, but yet again the bed linen and towels appeared clean.
The two members of staff were friendly and polite but would never stay there again or recommend it to anyone I knew.
I was there to visit a very poorly relative at a local hospital and this stay added to the stress of the visit.

I am highly disappointed with the Hotel , I called to cancel my booking 3 days before my arrival because my daughter was unwell. She told me call the agent I booked from , this is the only time someone picked the hotel phone out of 3 days I have been calling. The agent called the hotel many occasions , no response, I called the hotel myself for 3days multiple times no response. This is very annoying.

An absolute shocker of a place! Didn’t stay.
This is, quite frankly, the worst “hotel”, I have ever had the misfortune of stepping into.

The lady who booked me in was lovely! Very friendly and polite.
That was the only good thing. Apart from her, in my opinion, the place is the worst hotel I have ever stepped into.

The place is in, what looks like, the extension of a local social club (think Phoenix nights without the funny side!). First impressions were bad! It smelled dreadful, was dirty, apart from the lady booking me in, the staffing was not exactly “hospitable”. I was out within an hour and will never return.

If you are considering the place, maybe have a rethink. It’s grim!

As I stepped into the “hotel”, section there was a distinct musty smell. Really dated!

I got to my room, the mirror smashed, brown stain on the blinds and the laminated flyers had stuck to them, what I presume to be, old food waste.

I asked to check out where the lad, who appeared to be the supervisor, insisted that I view another room or have my current room cleaned.

He offered a drink whilst this happened but I had a distinct lack in confidence surrounding the hygiene of the place, so declined.

The second room was slightly better but still dirty with some sort of, what appeared to be, black mould around the windows.
I left without staying.

The guy running the place said that he wasn’t allowed to give refunds and it would be down to head office. He gave me their details but no email addres

Stayed for one night and the phrase “you get what you pay for” really does sum it up well.

Was a last minute booking as needed a nearby room and at £40 for the night thought I couldn’t go wrong.

The bed, well could feel every single spring finally get to sleep and woken up at 6.30am by banging of multiple other room doors.

Worst hotel in UK, period!!!!

The club had a DJ on all evening with music being played so loud that the window and bedroom walls were constantly vibrating. This continued till 12:30 am. Carpets were dirty and had a dreadful smell. The half used toilet roll provided had clearly been wet at some point as a water stain was clearly visible. Room had no bin. Bathroom had cobwebs and large spiders. No light shade. Had to sleep on top of my own towels as feared for my health using bedding provided. Hotels.com should ban this hotel from their site as it does your reputation no good. I would have felt safer and more comfortable sleeping on a park bench.

Overall a good one night stay

For a quick overnight stay this place was more than adequate, we were in town to see a show. There were some minor issues such as the only mirror in the main room was broken, the window which led onto a small roofed area did not lock (I forgot to report this ), no mirror in the bathroom or hanging rail for towels, bedside table drawers broken. Also, the beds could have been firmer but I know some people like mattresses you really sink into. It was pretty clean but maybe a little rundown. Quieter at night than I expected but we did get in very late. Parked in their car park but it's not very big so I don't think guests will always get a Space. Took a while to find a member of staff to hand the keys back to at checkout. Overall a good experience for somewhere to lay your head.

Be prepared!!!!

Check-in was a bit strange. Even after I paid previously via hotels.com they insisted I had not paid and proceeded to take the money from a card they said they had in there system. The card was not mine so I don't know who's card has been used to take the amount of £40.80 because out room was £44.16 both strange unusual amounts.

We was given the key and directions to our room and off we went. On entering the room we noticed the old musty smell immediately, the first thing we did was open the windows to let some air in and spray perfume around the room.
Looking around the room it was unkept and dirty, definitely in need of a refurb and a cleaner would have been nice.

The bathroom was mouldy and window sills was dirty with cob webs all over the room in corners, on doors and on picture frames etc.

There was holes in the wall , the headboard was hanging off the wall with holes on one side. The bed was like lying on metal springs directly, it was uncomfortable felt like it was only 10cm deep.

The noise from the neighbours started at around 3.30am. shouting loudly all around the building, outside the room and down the hallway. It continued for around an hour and was several people.

It’s important to say right from the beginning that the staff (and the other clients) were all great. They were helpful and friendly and pleasant. However the owner needs to spend some money on the hotel. Everything has been done on the cheap and there were things like mirrors that you couldn’t see into if you sat down, mattresses which were not very comfortable, things looked grubby (even though they were clean) because everything was old and needed a bit of TLC. Again, we had no criticism at all of the staff.

The room was basic, cleanliness was not a priority as thick cobwebs everywhere. No pillow protectors on the pillows, quilt covered ripped and was to big for the quilt. There were holes in the walls in the bathroom as well as behind the bed, with wall paper ripped away in places. There was mould in the shower on the base tray, as well as the ceiling covered in mould, shower was leaking behind the wall into the room. Main door to the room the outside door handle coming off.

Pillows were thin but I always travel with my own so not really an issue for me. Definitely, not worth the £55.00 I paid. Hubby said he wouldn't pay more than £30.
