Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Although the hotel location was great and our room was quiet, maintenance was neglected. With no tea towel to wash cups for a second drink, sugar was lacking and not filled (had to get more twice), no rubbish bin in the room or bathroom, no power point in the bathroom, which had the only mirror, making it hard to get ready. The walls leading to the room from the lifts and inside our room were damaged by the lack of care from what I assume were laundry trollies; however, it was odd that these laundry trollies were filled and left in the hallways, making it hard to walk down with luggage.

Only one pillow on each bed, normally there is two bed so I did have to ask for an extra one but that was okay just a bit surprised. The bed lights attached to the bed were broken and did not work. The little window in the room that’s a lot of light in so this was quite frustrating. And lastly the small countertop was dirty when I first arrived into the room. (Sticky marks from juice?) The whole building could do with a refurb, it’s kind of dirty and the flooring is quite stained. Overall a little bit pricey for what you get.

First impression of hotel was not wecoming. The room had no opening windows,the non opening window had pigeons roosting outside. No curtain on window. The bed sloped to one end. No bedside tables and no facility to hang clothes. The toilet cistern ran all night. Breakfast was unappealing. We did not stay to eat. I reported all these faults to the lady at reception,and asked for refund just for breakfast but was told she couldn't because i had booked through Expedia. This does not deserve the star rating.
