Stay away!!

Appalling, only thing clean was bedding, boiling water coming from both hot and cold taps, trip hazzard from bathroom to bedroom re carpet away from floor. No kitchen facilities on site although was advertised for breakfast. Cleaning staff friendly and helpful. Apart from when we checked in there was never anyone around at reception so nobody to voice our complaints to. We were booked for a 3 night stay but left very early after one night to move to another hotel., didnt even unpack!! We would not have stayed that one night if we could have booked another hotel but it was bank holiday weekend and everywhere was booked up.

Tired Room!

On arrival the room looked lovely and we were happy. Once settling into our room we started to notice the problems. The wardrobe door came off its hinges when opening. The floor of the wardrobe was also broken and collapsed in on itself. The coffee tray was placed in a area with no plug. This tray also held the mirror up so once you move it the mirror closes. This was also the case the other side of dresser with a fan. The bathroom window didn't close fully and the bathroom blind didn't fit the window lay out correctly. The bathroom bin was broken and lid fell on the floor. The carpet was frayed and ill fitted leaving the trim and metal work/ spikes bare.

The staff were friendly but the room was very tired. Whilst the bed was very comfy, the shower was mouldy and didn't work. The carpets were coming up at the corners and the whole room needed some tlc. There were bulbs missing from light fixtures and one of the windows wouldnt stay open due to the rope being broken. If you want more than basic this isn't for you. But we felt welcomed and slept well. Its a good location and the free car parking was a bonus for town centre.

My initial impressions were OK, I couldn’t get WiFi in my room and was upgraded without any fuss. My new room was large and the bed very comfortable. It was, however, very hot and the window opened but didn’t stay open and I had to use a hanger to keep it open. The fan provided rattled off of the side and was too noisy to use. The bathroom was spacious and looked clean but the tap dripped constantly and the tiles were lifting off of the floor. I could have forgiven all this but on my last night the experience I had was, in my opinion, unforgivable II couldn’t get the key to open the main door. I was stuck on a busy road, with lots of drunk revellers and I was a solo female. I called the number on the door and the man that arrived was very rude. He tried my key and of course it worked, and he accused me of being rude! The look on his face was extremely intimidating and made me more nervous than I was when stuck outside. I tried to apologise but he continued to be aggressive. I understand that I was at fault but it was 11.45pm and I was flustered, he was on call and presumably it is part of his job to help customers, even if they are stupid!
