The service was great, but the room almost collapsed on us, the bathroom was super small, the water came out boiling in the shower, making it impossible to shower, I had to use the shared bathroom anyway. Although I paid the extra to have the bathroom included in the room. The roof was going to fall and not to mention the humidity.

Not for everyone. If you are ""scared"", if you want a "perfectly clean" hotel, this is not the place you are looking for. If you are a man ready for an adventure, this is YOUR PLACE. Goodwood hotel? Nah. GOATwood hotel. 10/10.

terrible. we requested an early check in on expedia and got a yes from them. When we arrived an hour early, the man at the desk yelled at us for getting there early and said the only reason he's letting us stay is because we're indian. Otherwise, he said he would've thrown us out. Very disrespectful and rude. Avoid if possible!

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL, better for you to go to a hostel than to go here.I booked this place for my cousin and his wife, it was uninhabitable, the rooms, bed, unkept and dirty. I ended up booking another hotel for them (travel lodge) as they couldn’t stay here due to the bad state.Since then, I’ve been trying to get the hotel on the phone to process my refund and they just blatantly ignored me.

VERY VERY DIRTY HOTEL: dirty sock in the room under the bed, pitiful bathroom, no soundproofing, no toilets in the rooms, shared toilets on the landing and horribly dirty.|Very expensive for what you know. …

The worse hotel ever, avoid at all costs, it’s a real dump! We booked the room way ahead, was shown down to the basement, the room was stinking from insect spray, there were bed bugs on the walls, it was not possible to sleep there, and they could not offer another room, so we just had to find another hotel. They refused to refound the room, so did the booking agency hotels.com, but luckily I paod by credot card, so got the money back eventually.

I would never advise someone to go to the Goodwood. On the first night we found black mold on the mattress. The replacement room we were offered had shell pieces from bed bugs so we decided to move hotels.Other downsides included the rooms not being completely clean, no source of cooling, and super steep stairs that made getting our cases up a struggle.
