This hotel is not grand by any means. Our arrival was 30 mins early and desk staff were not particularly welcoming. They do not make up beds and replace used drink items, or empty the bins daily. My bathroom had deep scratches on the bath, some mould, a leaky radiator pipe, leaky soap dispenser and damaged fixings. The so-called balcony restriction devices were not fixed to both sides of the doors and could easily be opened. Dangerous considering the height of some rooms. Balconies are rusty on the edges and do not encourage use. Then there are the ants in the bathroom and near the bed and eventually, they crawled over my bed. Both my room and my friend's room had them. I was offered fly spray and advised the maintenance team would investigate. I was moved to another room, (balcony issues the same), and subjected to a loud whirring noise until late evening. (? mechanical) When I enquired the next day about maintenance I overheard a receptionist say there were no maintenance staff. Whether she meant on that day or always, she did not elaborate. As we were leaving, we sat in the quiet room where luggage is openly displayed and not locked away, and the chair my friend leant on collapsed. The leg fell off. Finally, we asked for a taxi booking and it did not turn up. We would never go back and never recommend it to anyone.
