The only good thing was its proximity to my work!!! I was placed in a room over the bar with live music playing til 0001. I had no temote for my TV it was requested on the first night but never received. I certainly WILL NOT stay there again.
Provided a room which was comfortable at very reasonable cost. The only downside is the Kareoae in the Bar which goes on until midnight. But I took part !
Beds were put together but were to different heights. Shower was unusable as the shower head was absolutely disgusting.
No wifi. Room had a bad odour. Had to wrestle with the door to get into the room. Bathroom door was damaged and wouldnt stay closed overall it has been the worst hotel stay i have ever had

A perfectly good stay. Good location for what we wanted and good price.
Check in was a problem which with good comms should’ve been fine. So if you are staying - both parking and check-in are over the road in the “spice” restaurant.
Our room was exactly the one in the picture. Basic, clean and did the job.

The staffs are pretty helpful and nice. The room is not too bad but I can smell cigarette. I found hairs on the bed and pillow case before I laid on the bed.
Worst night I’ve ever had in a place. Hairs on pillows. Quilt had dirty marks. Blinds disgusting. Couldn’t turn radiator off (stuck on full the whole night). Turned taps on in bathroom and both were hot. Took a bit for cold water to come through.

A night to forget
Pulled up at the bay horse on a very busy duel carriageway and was told we had to check in across the road at an Indian restaurant it was a difficult task then had to re cross the road with all our luggage and the dog we were given the wrong key and ended up in someone else’s room had to re cross the road twice again now it was feeling like a motorway tried to go into the bar downstairs for a drink as we had travelled over 200 miles to be told we could not go in as they were having a private party no mention of this when booking to top it off the noise was shocking until 3am at about 1.30 am there was a huge fight under our window there was a line of police cars and the language was atrocious so going to set off now over 200 miles with ver little sleep whilst the drunken revellers a probably having a good day in bed thanks folks
Had to go across the road to the Indian restaurant to check in/get keys.
The room itself was basic, twin beds pushed together (which kept pulling apart)
The radiators were the biggest issue. Even turning them to 1 or 'off' they stayed on and boiling to the touch all day! To sleep at night was near impossible as we had to keep the windows open at night due to the heat! But thanks to the storm the blind then banged on the wall in the wind!
The screws on the floor between bathroom/room were slightly raised and caught our feet a few times!
The end bed sheet was dirty (we didnt use it)
The tv stations on sky were super limited and had so many channels not working.
In a nutshell we would come back if only for the closeness to our destination
We enjoyed our stay - the room was large and spacious, however it would have been helpful to have a small fridge.
We stayed for the week but the first night seemed to be karaoke night, so it was on the loud side until about midnight
All in all the space was great

Room was freezing heating was shut off. Radiator wouldn't work
Go into Bay Horse which was a loud karaoke bar on a Sat night. Bartender told me to go across the street to check-in. Go across. They give me key and send me back to the bar and our room (newly renovated and clean enough) is above the bar. Floor was literally vibrating from the loud bass and singing directly below us. Left and found another hotel.
