Stay clear! Horrendous

On arrival - car park was full. Even though stated for hotel guests only, after calling the hotel was told it was full with people in the restaurant so they would get a chef to move his car. Once checked in - got into the room to a very tired room that looked like not been updated for years. After a long journey- I wanted to just watch the tv. Tried turning it with remote but didn’t work as batteries run out! Got it on with button on tv only to find it had not signal! Tried to use phone but not much signal so looked in hotel book regards WiFi and tried to log onto one offered in book to find not available!!!! The toilet was filthy - bath / shower not much better! Due to warm weather - room had a fan in there but only just felt the fan due to amount of dust on the three blades and outer casing. Went for a shower - picked up supplied towels and these look like they have not been changed since building was built. Holes in towels, very thing and ends all frayed!!

It’s a decent enough 3 star property in good location in town centre with car park. My bedroom was good standard. The building itself perhaps a bit dated. No issues for me with stay. Served it’s purpose well

Unfortunately, my recent stay was quite disappointing. The soap dispenser in the bathroom was completely empty, leaving only a rusty frame, and the floor was visibly dirty with a yellow tint. When I attempted to make a cup of tea, I found the mug in the room was unclean and had to go back to reception to request a replacement. To make matters worse, the milk provided had expired back on 27/10/2024. Under the previous ownership, the quality and attention to detail were significantly better. I truly hope the current management will bring the standards back up—or ideally, raise them further. As it stands, I don't see myself returning.

We stayed the night before going to the airport so we didn’t have to get up quite so early. Check in was easy and painless. Room was basic which is fine. TV didn’t work and channels wouldn’t tune. You could hear the door banging and people walking above quite loudly. Our room was ground floor and window looked onto the road which wasn’t too bad. Room was relatively clean - defo some DIY needed in areas. Main reason for low score was that water came through the ceiling on several occasions through the night. Luckily it was not over the bed but we were concerned that the cracks were worsening. We had to pile towels on the floor to stop the sound. We weren’t provided with a number to call in an emergency so had to wait until morning to report.

Beware!

This property is dirty! I mean dirty! My unit looked nothing like the photos. The water heater for tea was full of scum, the toilet had poop smears, the floor seemed like it was soft and about to give way, the lamps didn’t work, the soap container for the shower was completely empty, we got 1 towel to share between 2 of us, the sink didn’t drain, there was no top sheet for the tiny bed. I would have left but we just traveled 10 hours.
