I would say this property is the dirtiest room I have ever stay in. I was worried that the bed would have bed bugs. For the $200 per night rate I expected much more

Adam

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Arrived after hours to find each bed only had one sheet on each bed THAT'S IT, requested more sheets and blankets but nothing avaiable. The two kids had to use bath towels as their top "sheet" for the first 2 nights, and the adults had nothing for the first night. For the second night *1* single blanket became available (yay?) so the adults shared the single blanket by placing it horizontally across the double bed to at least cover the top halves of our body. On our third and final night more linen became available and we were finally given enough sheets and blankets for 3 beds and the kids were able to stop using towels as their blanket. For $755 for 3 nights I would expect linen as a bare basic. (Also this is the Sheridan NOT the Sheritan and it is not part of the Sheritan Hotel chain)

It was dirt and had mould on 90% of the roof and had just been painted over. Crusty old milk spills still in the fridge. Toilet and shower needed cleaning and you could feel the springs when laying or sitting on the bed. Pillows had mould stains and were discussing.

This hotel is old and dated, badly in need of renovation. In my bathroom, a patch in the wall had fallen off to reveal a dusty hole with old plumbing. The is no lift, so I had to carry my bags up to the second floor. Car parks are very tight. There is no dining facility.
