Hotel needs a good clean

Hotel is lokking a little ropey around the edges. The carpet on the corridors was filthy and needs a good clean. The lift also was quite dirty. The room itself was clean but basic. The bed however was comfortable. There was no remote for the TV so had to operate manually. Breakfast was OK but nothing special.
Steven, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Central location but the hotels very dated and tired and in dire need of an update!
Neil, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Pros: clean room, decent linens, no carpet on bedroom floor, near train station, less expensive than most other hotels in area Cons: The immediate area is a little tired looking, common area of hotel is tiny and cramped, VERY basic, dull lighting in bedroom Overall: clean, basic, but certainly not impressive

Decent hotel close to station. Basic but clean room with comfy bed and not too noisy. Didn’t manage to stay for breakfast so don’t know what that was like. Helpful that reception was open 24 hours as needed late check in.
