The photos online and the reality are worlds apart. The hotel looked abandoned, like it was inhabited by homeless people. The smell and dirt were overwhelming. We had to watch out for broken furniture on the stairs, a damaged wall, and debris on the floor. The bedding and bathroom were filthy. We left without staying even 10 minutes. This place should be shut down, not showcasing beautiful photos from maybe 20 years ago when it looked decent.

Imagine camping without a tent, but worse

This hotel is no where near as good as the pictures, I’ll start from the beginning, there is no free parking like advertised. When I went to check in I noticed a very strange smell, can’t quite explain it but it wasn’t good. The room was bare, no tv, black hairs found in the bed, very dirty and dated. There was a kettle but no cups or tea/coffee. The bathroom was disgusting and the shower had very low pressure. The room was booked via work so had to stay, contemplated sleeping in my car. Please read the over reviews before booking this place. 1 good thing the girl on reception was helpful and polite.

Where to start, was first given a room That was tiny with wires out the wall, asked for another room the lady was kind enough to give another room that was bigger, but it was not clean, hair on the showers, stain on the toilet, and pillows had stains on them, unfortunately looked under the bed and full of litter, middle of the night had another person walk into my room, so they where given a key that obviously opened the same door and the man said we was given this room, thank god I was decent!

It was an ok place to stay if you have nowhere else to go. Not accessible for anyone with physical disabilities. You can smell cigarette smoke on most floors. I heard some guests talking about prostitution in the hotel! The floor boards are not flush, theres dust absolutely everywhere. Its a health and safety hazard. Doors are propped open with fire extinguishers, flickering lights on the landing give a proper haunted vibe.

Do not stay here.

Room was filthy, mystery stains on every inch of the room, not clean whatsoever! Only clean thing in the room was the bedding which I was still apprehensive about. Had to buy antibacterial wipes for the light switches and handles due to how filthy they were, cigarette smell in room as well as burn marks, leak damage/ceiling practically falling apart, place should not be open!! The receptionist was apologetic after asking for my bathroom to be cleaned again due to pubic hairs everywhere, however it just seemed as if they rinsed them away with the shower instead of using cleaning products, the place was foul and there is just no effort put in to make an incredible building worth staying In, Management need to seriously up their game and staff need to ask themselves if they’d be happy to stay in those rooms…from a head housekeeper. Very shocked and disgusted that they allow guests to stay in these conditions.
