Easy check in/check out but my floor was on LG and the floor boards in the room were incredibly loud and bouncy when walking on them. The bed was very uncomfortable.

The room was basic, but good for the price and location. The hotel has a older feel about it, certainly due an updgrade. I felt the staff attitude could have been better. Upon check-in I asked about parking and was told I could only park for 24 hours from check-in. However, I parked my car and told I could park until check-in and pay upon check-in. I was also told I could pay for an additional 24 hours. However, this was not what I was told upon check-in and had to challenge the host to be able to park for what I had be told I could. Please make your policies clear and consistent!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Right from the moment we entered the room, there was a strong, unpleasant smell that stayed throughout our entire stay. There were also strange stains on the bathroom countertop, which didn’t give a good impression of cleanliness. The walls were extremely thin — we could hear conversations from people down the corridor and directly outside our room. We could also hear other room doors opening and closing, which made it hard to relax. The stay was mostly fine, but the noise early in the morning was a big issue. From around 6am, as our room was next to the lifts, we could hear loud clattering and banging, as well as staff talking while cleaning rooms on the floor. There was also a lot of noise from guests entering and leaving with their suitcases. Overall, the noise levels and cleanliness issues really affected the experience.

Mattress was awful- springs worn and felt like sleeping on bricks. Toilet did not flush. Shower was awful and went everywhere. Whole place smelt like mould. Rooms were old. Wifi did not work. Parking was very limited and the middle of a construction site and had to pay almost £8 for one day. Kettle was disgusting. House keeping came before 9am. Not worth the money at all. Needs some serious TLC. Book elsewhere.
