Disgusting place

This hotel should not be allowed to be open to the public, it's full of homeless people, refugees and when we came back to get our car as we didn't feel safe leaving our car their so we didn't even stay, the reception area was taken over by about 20 people praying on their mats and looked insulted we had walked in. Disgusting hotel and not a safe feeling at all.

Awful

We had two rooms and it was one of the worst experiences I have ever had in a hotel. Had to be moved multiple times because tv didn’t work. Then the new room had hairs all over the bed. Faeces on the bath towel and for some reason around the window. It felt extremely unsafe and was confirmed the council are also housing people there. The windows wouldn’t close. Because of the cleanliness I couldn’t even have a tea I’m the morning and had to stand there for an hour naked drip drying because of the towels were covered in faeces. Hotel confirmed this was disgusting and would refund. but now no one is taking accountability and I still don’t have the refund.
Towels that have obviously been used to replace toilet roll

Don’t stay here

I book hotels that have a gym which this one said it did, on arrival I was told they don’t have a gym, I had to order food from outside. The furniture in the room looked ready for the tip they had a desk but no chair to sit at the desk. I was ready to walk out and book elsewhere but your policy on booking was non refundable. Disgrace!!!!

Really noisy neighbours (other guests). Not sure if this is a migrant hotel, but the guests were not very considerate, didn’t speak or understand English and were quite rude tbh. Stayed here for 2x 4 nights visits and will definitely NOT be staying again when in the area!!

Cheap but not cheerful.

I ought to say at the outset that the staff at this hotel were excellent. That being said, whilst it was very cheap, (I really had no option other than to stay here due to the coronavirus issue), everything else was disappointing. The hotel is very "tired" and tatty. I had what was called a "luxury" room. It wasn't. It was small, very dusty and there were greasy stains on the wall. The carpet was frayed and held together by gaffer tape. There was no plug in the sink and the towels had seen better days. The worst aspect was the noise however both from outside and especially inside the hotel.

Stay away

Extremely poor attitude of staff. Room booked by NHS for support eorking staff due to covid. Made to wait for 2 hours after a tiresome shift,eventually had to rebook as they were unable to sort and cancelled the first booking. So much for nationwide news about hotels supporting nhs. Requested tajeaway food to be delivered from reception which was agreed but failed. So was tired, could not sleep enough and left hungry, ready for the next shift in 6 hours. Phones dont work, so have to walk to reception even for simple queries. Poor and worned out fixtures. Not even a spoon to stir a cup of tea. I am surprised these places can still function in UK. 2 words, never ever.
