The room was clean but looked tired. Had a nice feel about the place. Found the staff very friendly and helpful. The shops are all nearby. The only downside was the lift was not working.

I believe that the hotel should put some padding stickers on the door frames so the doors don’t bang when closing them.

Looked nothing like the pictures at all. Dark and dingy. Families living in the rooms with toys and nappies all over the windowsill. No lights on at all. Smelt very bad. Couldn’t stay. We left within ten minutes. The room is completely different to the pictures

Not a hotel

No bar, no restaurant, lift doesn’t work and full of families living in the rooms. Staff were really nice and the room was actually nice but it’s not a hotel. 90% occupied by people living in the rooms whilst awaiting being housed elsewhere. That’s fine but should not be advertised as a hotel on hotels.com!

Not a great hot

Hotel was boiling hot, room was very hot and basic, for an executive room. Just a bar of soap in the bathroom, although reception gave me a shower gel when I asked and supplied a fan for the room. Shower was awful would only adjust to boiling hot or freezing cold. Front of house staff were friendly

Avoid.

Appears to be used as a migrant hotel. Ver poor state of repair. It looks to have once been a good place, not any longer. Spent an hour there and drove home.

It’s clean and the room was in good shape. Front desk person was nice helpful. That said, it looks like a lot of the rooms are longer-term rentals. There were several children playing in the parking lot and running around in the lobby area. I also saw toys in some of the ground floor windows, indicating that people were living there. While the room we stayed in looked recently updated, the lobby is pretty rundown. And the restaurant and lounge are closed (with refrigerators and microwaves in what I assume was previously the dining room—probably for the tenants). It’s too bad because it looked like it was a really cool hotel/tavern/restaurant at a previous point in the past. Not planning on ever being back in this area, but I wouldn’t stay here again.

We had 2 rooms. One was OK, the other was appauling! No furniture, useless shower and not clean. Add on no food or drink facility worth giving a miss until they restore this once great hotel back to a standard expected.
