To best describe this hotel, especially the annexe were I was supposed to stay for two nights but only stayed one night, it’s a hovel! Worst place I have ever stayed and that’s saying a lot as I have stayed in questionable places in sub-Saharan Africa! For a similar price, try the nearby Cheshire hotel, it is miles ahead especially with how clean it is!

Filthy Hotel, NO amenities, used toilet paper on bathroom floor, This hotel needs a visit from the health Department and removal from Hotels.com. This may be the worst hotel I have ever stayed in and I am 75. This of course comes at an exorbitant price. DO NOT STAY HERE

Great location and easily accessible, staff were helpful and let us check in 4 hours earlier for no cost as the room was ready. The room however had lopsided floors and one window that didn't lock. The door only had a night latch with no chain or peephole, and there were people in the corridor at late hours so we didn't feel amazingly secure. The bathroom was very small, there wasnt hot water, and the light in the bathroom wouldnt turn on half the time. No shower gel or shampoo was provided, so bring your own unlike us. The room itself had big windows and high ceilings, but the bed and pillows were quite firm.

The perfect place for the traveler who wants NO amenities, hot water or soap. If you are looking for a cheerless, dingy and stained room without any redeeming qualities, this is your place! Uncomfortable beds, stuffy and plently of street noise rounds out your experience at the Gresham Hotel!
