You get what you pay for.

They say you get what you pay for and that was very true. I booked this hotel by mistake and because it was non refundable i decided to stay there anyway. Furniture grubby, carpet dirty and stained, curtains hanging off, towels stained. I was afraid to look at the mattress so slept on top and i definitely wasnt showering to use the towels. I was shocked to hear that the whole of the second floor was being used for temporary accommodation. The receptionist on duty was lovely and very helpful.

I understood the price once I arrived. We passed people that looked suspicious of drug using in the halls many times. The bed was horrible. I woke up aching. Grateful for the free parking though. I’m sure in its day it was a great place. It’s very run down now

Horrible hotel all over UK

The hotel is in very bad state. Right from the entrance to the rooms. The rooms are very dirty, toilets are dirty, window broken, paint peeling off everywhere. No coffee mug, however a kettle is given. The chair is broken. There was a lot of noise during night, probably by youngsters and drunkard locals which disturbed the sleep. Never recommend this to anyone.

the hotel was disgusting not only was it filthy, run down, windows were broken the WiFi box was hanging out of the room window the floorboards all over the place felt like they were about to collapse, it stunk of drugs (weed) it was more like a half way house, not a safe place to stay in with kids the bedroom doors were not secure. The pictures on the website did not compare to the actual hotel!!

Very Basic hotel…..

The hotel definitely needs modernising, curtains in bedroom couldn’t close properly, bath tap kept dripping, massive spider in corner of bathroom. The carpets didn’t look like they had been cleaned for a long while! Just seemed very run down

Glad to get away from this rundown hotel and area.

To be fair the new owners had only bought the hotel two months ago, and they were trying to improve it. But they could not do much about the location, a really run-down area with shops that had been boarded up for years, pavements that were trip hazards ever step you took. But the hotel car park gave no confidence when we arrived, weeds everywhere, signage not clear, hoped that our car would still be there on return. Reception was just about OK, but pavement outside had spittle on it, and some very shifty characters hanging about. No lift to room but that was OK, but room was inadequate. No dead lock and door jamb looked broken. No working plug in basin, and did not run away, Light in bathroom so dim you could not see. No bedside tables or chairs to put case on. to be fair, it did seem clean, nice towels, and coffee etc, and evidence of a repaint, though not properly finished. And worst of all, no food at all available - eventually walked up to a kebab shop and had something to eat (after a long drive up from the South Coast). The cost was almost £40 - ironically almost the same as the brilliant one we stayed in near Gloucester on our way home.
