We arrived early by 12 can’t check in until 230 pm. Went to the restroom lobby , buckets at the entrance for leaky ceiling, dangerous for falling . They advertised in the bathroom they can supply for toothpaste & brush if you forgot to bring one , a misleading advertisement . Requested x3 at the receptionist, they said they don’t have any, I have to buy it from the store which is 2 Miles away from the hotel by walking. On our 3rd day of stay they did not clean the room & did not replace the towels, maybe because we are checking out the following day .

In general, the hotel was as to be expected. I was in room 320 and there was terrible rattling all night, at intermittent periods, either a generator or when I enquired ‘the pipes’. If you’re not in that room, probably all good! Staff were very good, just not much of a sleep!

Weekend break for btcc

Breakfast was a good selection and not too busy. Saturday night we ate in the hotel. Many items on the menu were not available. Wife had lasagne which was burnt to the dish. The amount of food you get for the cost is very poor. Bar had no draught pumps working. Room needed a good deep clean and refresh. Stains on shower tray and on carpet. Cushion was missing out of the swivel chair in the room.
