Good location and spacious rooms, with a wide range of facilities including a dishwasher and washing machine. The beds were clean, but the room itself was not very clean, so if you’re looking for a spotless place, this may not be the best choice. Overall, it was a positive experience.

The towels we received were dirty and unwashed! Nearly all the towels had marks that indicated they were used prior and just folded and set out for the next customers! We complained and were given new towels. The cleanliness of the room isn’t great. Marks on the couch as well.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
First room we got smelt like it had just been dried out from a water leak. It smelt really really musky, the ceiling hatch baorder was swollen and falling apart. Parts of the kitchen floor tiles were cracked and would rock and move around when walked on. The tv screen was taped up to hold it together. We quickly asked to change rooms. The next room was slightly better. Still slightly musky. You could see big smears on the walls from where it had been cleaned. There was an ironing board but no iron, had to borrow our friends room iron. The shower door leaked pretty bad. After 2 showers the floor was soaked. After inspection, the seals on the door may aswell not have been there. Our friends room was again, slightly better but still not great. Their fridge didnt work and kept beeping as to say the door was open when it wasnt. They had the same experience with the shower door. The whole hotel smelt musky from the entrance, down the hallway and into the rooms. Maybe the air conditioning unit for the building is broken. Overall the stay was very underwhelming and for the price paid, i expected better. Wouldnt stay here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Dissapointing hotel, advertised as 4 star. Room in very poor condition with broken furniture, broken and loose floor tiles, bathroom door handle fell off, missing lever in the sink plug so would not drain etc. Mould in the shower and thick dust on the skirting and headboard light strip. The hotel had aranged for a potential buyer to vue our room during our booked stay. The buyer and presumably the real estate agent let themselves into our room, without even knocking. I am waiting to hear back from management about this. There are a few parking spaces for guests in the basement. There was disagreement between hotel staff about which were the spaces owned by the hotel. Risk of getting towed by using the wrong space. One space is in front of, and blocks a fire hose. The only food option I saw is a small vending machine at the entrance. Many homeless/intoxicated people in the road outside. Did not feel safe.
