Unacceptable smell of sewage/ drains in room

I was given a basement room which had a serious problem with the stench of sewage very hard to bear. Level 1 rooms are on a semi basement level and there was a smell from the time I went down the stairs. But into the room it was unpleasant. When I returned from a walk I realised the window had been open in the room as it was now cold with the curtains blowing. When I closed the window and then went into the shower area the full impact of the smell hit. Really disgusting. Unfortunately it was too late to make other arrangements and I spent a very unpleasant night and got out as early as I could the next day. Don’t risk it. Find another place to stay. If you have an issue there are no staff here who will help you. One security / maintenance person on site who is not customer service trained.

Better instructions for parking - where AND how to park - people park and block your way in dont like the sink outside the bathroom the shower drain was blocked/water filling up mid shower - tray not deep enough towel refresh should be a given - too onerous to email ahead every day asking for fresh towels would be good to have spare towels/pillows balnkets etc too also the bed moved around too easily-wouldnt fix it in place necessarily (just in case soemthing rolls under and you need to move it) but bed kept sliding

The room was clean and newly redone. However, I did not know it had no reception which caused issues in getting my delayed luggage delivered. The hallway smelled like sewage. It was truly disgusting. My room fridge was warm and I couldn’t adjust it so my leftovers spoiled. Housekeeping is upon request only.

This is not a hotel- it’s basically a room to rent with no physical welcome or service and no included room cleaning. Virtual check in was efficient but the room was tiny, barely room to get around the bed and the only basin was right by the bed, not in the tiny space that held the shower and loo. Literally no space to put suitcase except across the door - not ideal if emergency exit required. Very very disappointed indeed. One light bulb not working. Overall very unwelcoming and very poor value. We will not be staying here again.

Wouldn’t stay again

The room is small and has a comfortable bed. There was no water provided in the room. Unfortunately there isn’t good soundproofing and I could hear doors closing, tvs and loud conversations happening well into the night which prevented me from getting decent sleep. There is a walk in shower with good water pressure but the spray from the shower was coming out onto the floor while I was waiting for the water to heat up. Then the drain couldn’t keep up and the water overflowed onto the tiled floor. There was also some mould where the tiles meet the shower tray. I wouldn’t consider this to be a 4 star hotel, in fact it’s more of a hostel or at best a guest house.

Locks Didn't Work as Described

Our stay was tainted by a poor check-in experience that clouded anything else we might have appreciated more. First, when we booked, we expected more of a regular hotel with staff on site. We were staying in Airbnb's the rest of the trip and had decided to stay in a hotel for this one night. It was an adequate building with parking, which we needed, but I wouldn't really call it a hotel. The instructions we received for check-in said there would be nobody on site and gave us codes to get in. We made it all the way to our door and used the code successfully on the Yale lock, only to discover that the lock did not have its inner workings and did nothing to actually lock the door. We eventually, after about an hour, accessed the key to lock the bottom doorknob so that we could securely lock our belongings in our room and go eat. During that time, we emailed the owners and made phone calls, which in itself was an ordeal to get working with our international phones. We never received a response from the email or phone calls but luckily found a maintenance guy who happened to drive into the back parking lot while I was sitting in my car making phone calls. He helped us access the physical key to lock the door to our room, but not after an extremely frustrating time up until that point. The room itself was spacious, modern, clean. There were no towels when we arrived, but they were available to pick up down the hall. The beds were reasonably comfortable, outlets worked, etc.
Inside portion of lock missing.

This property was absolutely disgusting, hair on the floor, the shower didn’t drain and water splattered into the bathroom, the drain was broke and the plug for it was sitting in the tub full of hair. We had to ask for more towels, they gave us two, didn’t go very far when you’re mopping up water. There was an open package of crackers on top of the microwave and three cans of beer in the dirty refrigerator. Blow dryer didn’t work, nor did the coffee pot. We knew there was no air conditioner, however the window opened about an inch, we were uncomfortably hot, it was an absolutely terrible experience. Pictures do not reflect an accurate representation of the property. Very disappointed.

Awful excuse for a hotel

No receptionist at any time, tiny room at more than $230 a night, tiny bathroom so small sink is actually in the bedroom, pictures are not accurate on the sites as it shows Victorian house with ornate features which is only true at the front of the house. The rooms are mostly in the back in an ugly red brick extension with little light narrow corridors and small rooms. Overall terrible and I'm shocked to see anyone unless their friends give top reviews. Oh and ironing board is the one you place on your bed and half the size as normal and it was a tiny thin piece of fabric on top otherwise iron mesh that I ironed into my shirt!

HMO type setup. Half a toilet roll supplied. Had to walk to local shop in the morning to buy some. Sink blocked and very slow to drain. 'Reception' completely unmanned. Massive cobwebs. Hand wash supplied for 'shower gel.' Comfortable bed, decent shower. Overall NOT what we expected for the premium price we paid. Booked ahead due to oasis concert so paid mega bucks but saw it had reduced it's prices to a quarter of the price last minute. Wouldn't return
