Hotel is very old, there is renovation going inside so its mess and dirt everywhere. Think they should close it for now. Room was ok to sleep- nothing else. Kettle and 2 cups provided- no tea coffee etc. Its also not clearly stated but they charge £10 extra for parking per night which is quite expensive. We won't be back anytime soon.

The hotel is in mid renovation following take over by new owners 3 weeks ago. While the bedding was clean, nothing else was. The place shouldn't be open. 1 curtain missing 1 just hanging on. No shower curtain, no tea/coffee or milk in the room but a kettle and 2 tiny cups. Only 1 pillow each. Dirty carpets. Lift broken. Payments through Expedia are not working, so we had to pay cash as the only other method they accepted was a QR code scan which is a security risk at the best of times. Also if you wanted to park in the hotel spaces, it was £10 per night! There's several other things wrong with the hotel, so no one should stay there for some time.

We had a terrible experience. The windows did not open and were unclean. The carpet was unclean too. The beds had one pillow per person with no headboards on the bed. We had no towels and were told they were waiting on the towels - we got these just before checkout. Overall an unpleasant experience.

AVOID AVOID AVOID! Rip Off. Dirty. No service.

AVOID AVOID AVOID!!! This hotel is a building site that hasn't seen a cleaner for months. Please read more on TA if in doubt! The first room we got offered had no curtains, a dirty bath full of hair, and had a strong paint smell. The second had a burnt bed, holes in the sheets, and a filthy carpet. We did NOT stay and I suggest you dont even book. You pay on site so can't get a refund through hotels.com. We spent an hour on the phone with 'customer services' only to be told their policy required them to escalate the issue to 'the management' . 2 days later our refund request was declined for no reason. A total rip off, they know everybody would request a refund through this portal hence they take your cash on site. AVOID AVOID AVOID

Very cheap, very old and basic. Ok for a night

It is ok for a night. It is very basic so if you are looking for a cheap deal is ok. Disappointed with the water temperature in the shower. Was a bit cold for me.
