Disliked: Cleanliness
Right from the moment we entered the room, there was a strong, unpleasant smell that stayed throughout our entire stay. There were also strange stains on the bathroom countertop, which didn’t give a good impression of cleanliness. The walls were extremely thin — we could hear conversations from people down the corridor and directly outside our room. We could also hear other room doors opening and closing, which made it hard to relax. The stay was mostly fine, but the noise early in the morning was a big issue. From around 6am, as our room was next to the lifts, we could hear loud clattering and banging, as well as staff talking while cleaning rooms on the floor. There was also a lot of noise from guests entering and leaving with their suitcases. Overall, the noise levels and cleanliness issues really affected the experience.

Mattress was awful- springs worn and felt like sleeping on bricks. Toilet did not flush. Shower was awful and went everywhere. Whole place smelt like mould. Rooms were old. Wifi did not work. Parking was very limited and the middle of a construction site and had to pay almost £8 for one day. Kettle was disgusting. House keeping came before 9am. Not worth the money at all. Needs some serious TLC. Book elsewhere.

The entire experience was terrible. The room did not look like the photos shown on Expedia. It was misrepresented. We paid a fair bit for this hotel and we found mould in the bathroom, carpet was disgusting and lifting; the vinyl floor in the bathroom was lifting; the bathroom door did not lock or even latch closed; beds were horrible and so uncomfortable (we actually slept fully dressed on top of everything); the hallways smelled. We complained and asked for a better room, but we were denied and were offered no sort of compensation. We actually left after one night even though we had paid for two because we couldn’t take it. Expedia should be showing more accurate pictures and give a better representation of the hotel.
