Avoid at All Costs – Absolutely Awful Experience
Our stay at the Buckatree Hotel was nothing short of a nightmare. From the moment we walked in, it felt like stepping into a time warp—straight back to the early 2000s, and not in a good way. The entire building is severely outdated, with damaged doors lining the corridors and wallpaper peeling from nearly every wall. It honestly felt like the place hadn’t seen a proper renovation in decades.
We booked a family room, but the moment we stepped inside we were hit with a strong smell of damp. Water marks were clearly visible on the walls, and the room looked like it had been thrown together with whatever furniture was left in a clearance sale—nothing matched and everything looked tired and worn.
Now for the beds... if you can call them that. We would’ve had a better night’s sleep on a park bench. Lumpy, uncomfortable, and clearly long past their use-by date.
Worst of all, the room was freezing during the night. Both of our kids were shivering and miserable, and there was no way to heat the room. It was honestly heartbreaking watching them try to sleep through the cold.
We were supposed to stay for two nights but checked out first thing the next morning. It was that bad. I wouldn’t let my worst enemy spend a night here. They advertise this place as a 3-star hotel, but in reality, it should be condemned.
Absolutely avoid—this place needs a serious overhaul or shutting down completely.
