Arrived at the hotel, checked in and the room had a mediocre clean the mirror was filthy. We had been placed in a room that had an adjoining room separated by just a door. We could hear the occupants in the next room as though they were in our room. Breakfast was unorganised no milk, no plates and no cutlery. I accidentally left my charger plugged in called the hotel on the way home and they said they would check with the housekeeping staff once the shift had ended. Lo and behold the charger was not there. I know for a fact it was as I was charging my phone right before going down for breakfast and was meant to unplug it just before leaving.

The staff were lovely and really helpful. It’s a 3 star hotel. Quite basic but fully functional, clean, everything you need if you need a bed, a shower and a hairdryer. My room had some minor wear and tear and the toilet took a long time to fill and wasn’t the quietest but I have no complaints.

I left my samsung ear buds in the room and when i called the next day, they said they wasn't there. Breakfast was a nightmare as there only seemed to be one person topping the food up. No hash browns for 20 minutes and everyone was waiting for bacon and eggs.

The fire alarm went off at 4am eventually finding out about 10miutes later it was a false alarm, another guest was able to communicate to us as no members of staff came up to tell us. I went down the stair well and wasn’t able to get down and had to go across the landing on another floor and that’s how I found out. An emergency lighting was hanging off the ceiling. Poor communication and I wonder what would have happened if it wasn’t a false alarm.
