Budget hotel with good parking

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The only thing that was good about this room was the shower pressure was good and the bed was good to sleep on but other wise it wasnt clean, had live ants on the bench and there was sticky stuff comming down from the wall behind the bedside cabinet and cobwebs above the bed, I am really dissapointed in what my parents walked into as we booked and payed for this room for them for a present for a night away and what we payed should of been a bit better quality to walk into, not recommending this place
