Where do I start, tiny car park area, looking at the building it looked like the bomb squad had been at it! The inside to the premises smelt so damp! Walls looked like they had never seen a touch of paint in their life! When we got to the room we opened the door and literally it couldn’t have been any smaller The tv wasn’t even on a wall and was so small I’d struggle to see it! It was just chucked on the side, bedding smelt all musty the highlight to the room was the bathroom of all places! If this place has a cleaner then I’d be shocked as I wouldn’t know what she/he is cleaning Oh and there was no towels provided I mean how standard is that??? The location is spot on but avoid this place at all costs unless you really are desperate to get away! The worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in and to charge £80 for a stay I felt massively out of pocket on this!
