Fine if just sleeping there

The carpet was loose, causing us to fall down the stairs. Breakfast was just cereal and toast - fine. The room, curtains were falling down, rusty screws in the bathroom, chewing gum like substances stuck to sink, hand soap empty and fell off the wall, coat hooks on the back of the bathroom door were right at eye level and frankly dangerous, bathroom wasn’t level so water didn’t drain properly after a shower, toilet leaked, hole in bed box, loud buzzer could constantly be heard, tv turned itself on randomly during the night, mouldy pillow in cupboard

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Property was in a good area and accessible to the place we wanted to get to and from. The interior of the property is very dated, which didn't bother us, but the room was very small for 3 people, and the bathroom was extremely small. The pictures online of the rooms dont show how dated and small it all is. The room was so warm as well and had no ventilation, really. Cleanliness of the room is also very basic. Not sure we would re-book this hotel again.

This place was a mess. Surprised it's on Expedia. First, they charge for Wifi, 2.5L per day. The bathrooms are coverted closets literally, can barely move. Breakfast is a joke-stale cereal, some bread and instant coffee. Room key doesn;t work for the front door half the time.

Be aware!!!

If you are in a budget, this place maybe an option, but I don’t recommend this place to stay, is pretty close from Russell Station(opens at 5:30am becareful), but if you go in summer time be ready to suffer with the head on the rooms, specially the ones on the basement. Please think twice and spend 100$ for something better!
