Only stopped at this place for one night. Couldn't stop for longer. It's very basic and dated. The breakfast is not good and very limited. I felt it was expensive for what it was. It was worth half what I paid.

Poor
The beds were so squeaky you could hardly sleep. They only supplied one pillow each. The breakfast was more for non English without a doubt. Electric wires hanging out inside the building everywhere. Wasn’t impressed at all

This has to be the worst place i have ever stayed in. Dirty room, Dirty bathroom & toilet with mold all over the ceiling and walls and shower cubicle.
No hearing the room was like an ice box and i wasnt suprised when the radiator in the room didnt work. Who ever owns this place needs to take note of all the reviews that i have read and the last thing i wajt my money back.

Awful place - never again
Possibly the worst hotel stay I have had,
The check in was just a key left on the table in the entrance with a hand written note with my name
The room was cold, smelly and poorly maintained
The decor of the whole place was in poor condition, this was very obviously a care home previously as there were nurse call points in the hallways half removed
The bed was uncomfortable so we did not have a good sleep for the two nights we were there
The only member of staff we encountered during our stay was rude to us as we were checking out less than 10 minutes after the 10am checkout time
The whole experience of this hotel left a bad impression on both of us
I travel a lot for work and stay in a lot of different hotels around the country
Although cheap it was not the cheapest I have stayed in but was very definately the worst by a long shot.

Lady on arriving very nice. But private bathroom does not mean en suite it is a separate shower and toilet along corridor which did not look private and needed a good clean. Generally if you want something very basic not fussy about cleanliness and don’t want to spend a lot of money then this place is perfect
