I enjoyed my overnight stay as my room had everything i needed to be comfortable such as a heater and television.My room was also very clean. In the morning the breakfast facilities were impressive
No interaction with the staff
Room very basic, tired, ripped curtains, mixed ceiling tiles, old carpet, no cleaning of the room or buckets emptied whilst staying 2 nights.
Would not recommend this hotel

Clean bed. Door next door closing woke me up quite early. Shower had very weak water pressure.
The staff was ok except sent me to the wrong room with someone in it and the room smelled bad, carpet was dirty and broken furniture, won’t be staying again

Plus points are the location, cleanliness of the room and the price. Downsides are security of the building, condition of the rooms and facilities ... bit of a mixed bag.

Very dated room but clean. We had a deluxe suite with 2 double beds. The only complaint was that the room was freezing cold. Would gave been nice to have extra duvets. Room was very clean, great location. Bargain for the price. Spare duvets it the only recommendation

This is a very run down property that is used as emergency housing for the homeless and should not be described as a hotel. Very uncomfortable bed and very noisy.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The stay was okay. Window wouldn’t close at all and was freezing cold. Other residents banging on door at 4/5am in the morning. Otherwise bathroom facilities were spot on and bed was comfortable
I booked to stay here and upon seeing the conditions of the room I Went to the reception to request a refund. This was due to what I can only assume was bloodstains on the bed skirting. The billow was covered in stains. Then to top it all off a very large white plastic bag was tied around the smoke detector. And it wasn't subtle it was hanging very clearly. So they just didn't even look in the room or didn't care. The man on reception was adamant I would get my money back via Expedia. But, nope it would have to be through the hotel and they refused. I can't say enough how much I do not recommend this hotel.
This hotel does not match with the criteria in terms how advertised. The front end whilst looks professional the interior/halls were very poor and felt unsafe with my son. Also the toilet wouldn’t flush and the tv was broken. The inside door framed been broken/broken into.
