It wasn’t a very nice place to stay, the towel rail was hanging of the wall, the curtains didn’t even meet in the middle, didn’t bother using shower as there was no hot water, & mould all over shower tray, when we tried to leave in the …

##AVIOD AVOID AVOID##I have given this "hotel" 1/5 stars mainly because I am unable to it 0/5.I booked 2 nights due to working in the area. Upon arrival I was unable to enter the building and had to message to find out where to park and enter.Upon entering my room it appeared very basic but ok considering I only needed a bed for the night.In the middle of the night I awoke as the mattress was slipping through the bed frame. When I lifted the mattress the slats on the bed were broken and on the floor. There was mould all around the windows and the TV didn't work.I left early in the morning as I was unable to sleep on the broken bed. With the intention of requesting a refund for the second night, I was unable to make contact with the staff to request this until after 6pm. At this point I was informed that I could only request a refund before 6pm. The guy was rude, unhelpful and didn't seem concerned with my issues. He was focusing on the fact that I had not contacted prior to 6pm despite me explaining that I had been trying.I had booked through booking.com and raised a complaint through them and was advised that the owner was not willing to offer a refund and advised to leave a review. Upon attempting to leave a review, the owner had removed my ability to leave a review.All in all, it was so bad I had to book to stay at a travel lodge.Photos attached.

Disappointing. The electric shower worked OK but the shower tray was cracked. No hot water in the basin taps and no WiFi despite a code being available. Good job tesco was within easy walking distance as no food was available on the premises. We stayed 2 nights, the bin wasn't emptied all all during our stay and the tea/coffee was not topped up. A good place to rest your head, but will not be returning anytime soon

The Hotel looks fine from the outside but once you go through the doors it’s truly awful. Stairs are narrow, steep and dangerous. The room was en suite but the bathroom was covered in dust and mould. …

No I would have left it blank if I could proceed. So 1 star is a compliment to say I never stayed there. It's a short and honest review. Maybe you should inform people before hand that if you turn up early you're likely to be closed. And the place will look like it's never been lived in. Never come across a place like it. On a Friday evening as well. £4 dearer was a bargain for what I got. Bet you don't get many outsiders. League Of Gentlemen.
