Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Disappointing

Nobody around when we arrived to check in. Room very small with a view onto an unattractive courtyard/adjacent building. Almost every floorboard squeaked when you walked on it and there was quite a lot of noise from the room above, not because the people were noisy; just the noise of people moving around and the floor squeaking, the sound of doors opening and closing etc. Beds not particularly comfortable. Shower room had fixtures falling off wall. Floor of shower/wet room area was a laminate not suited for the purpose; it felt spongy as if whatever was underneath had rotted due to water leaking through. Superficially, the decor throughout was attractive, fresh and modern. Overall, our stay was disappointing. It could be a lot better if proper attention was given to some aspects.

Nicely located next to the sea walk in Bangor. Easy walking distance to many shops and pubs. Nice selection of foods for breakfast. Mattresses need upgrading to something that you can't feel the springs through.
