Negative 5 Stars
Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Opened the door and wasn’t impressed but gave it a chance until I noticed they had towels around the A/C and then the bed sheets were disgusting. I left after that and booked a room somewhere else. If there were negative stars I’d give it that.

We weren’t even able to stay there. The smell was awful when you walked in and they couldn’t even find a key for the room they wanted to give us they wanted us to have them let us in manually. We didn’t not feel safe so we left.

Very crappy hotel
We booked this place for our kids to stay at for just one night. When we pulled up to the place where is a bunch of people hanging outside with the person who is supposed to be in charge of the inn. A Toddler was hanging off the front door and the inn was in very rough shape. We were also glared at by a rough looking patron. Needless to say we did not stay there and I would not recommend this to anybody…

I was not at all comfortable staying at this property and actually ended up leaving. The room had a horrible smell and a creepy vibe to it. I found crumbs and stains on the rug and the bedding. I noticed some people hanging out outside that likely lived there and made me very uncomfortable as well.

We arrived at 9pm and got the last room. There must have been 30 or more FLIES in the room. The floor had lots of soft spots and was very uneven. The bed linens were a sheet and a lite blanket. The heat was locked at 69 degrees and the room was cold. The carpeting was ripped and looked unclean too. Since it was a long weekend, we didn't seek another hotel at that hour,but it was creepy in that room. The door was locked to the office for COMPLIMENTARY MORNING COFFEE. There were no cups in the room either. The place should be CLOSED.. or updated asap...TERRIBLE!!!

The woman who checked us in was nice and there was hot water. However, there was no heating in the room, so they provided a tiny desk top heater that wasn’t larger enough to heat the room. Sheets and comforter were very thin, but no extra blankets were provided. There were not enough towels in the room (despite the fact that they knew how many people were in our party). She never delivered the right amount of towels to our room. No WiFi (if there was WiFi, we were never given the log in). Dead bugs and debris in the shower....

Shady. Strange hosts, their own house is very unclean, so I wondered how clean the rooms really are. A couple outside hugging and making out in the front of the building, seems to be their friends or relatives.. Uncomfortable place to be at.. Wish I had paid more to stay at a better hotel. Curtains are not dark enough and not enough curtains.. You have to put them just right so that no one sees in the room.. Corner breach on curtain - people walking outside could have seen things in the room by looking at the mirror on the wall.. So we put the mirror down.. Just a very unconfortable and outdated place. Will not stay there again.

Don't stay here.
We were very disappointed when we arrived at this motel. While the owners were very welcoming and friendly, the condidtion of the rooms were not what we expexted. Carpets were stained and the rooms smelled . There were also a number of strange characters hanging around, which made us quite uncomfortable. None of us slept very well. The one saving grace was the water pressure and plenty of hot water in the shower. We certainly would not recommend booking a room here.

Disgusting
Where do I begin? Check in area was extremely messy, dirty, and overall sketchy. Rooms smelled very bad. Rooms did not have half of the things a traveler would consider essential. No iron, hair dryer, no outlet in the bathroom, there was an ice bucket but no glasses or anywhere to get ice. Beds had minimal blankets and the beds had ants in them. Toilet was stained and extremely disgusting. People "living" in the room next to ours had their kids using the outside area as their bike path/playground. We would never stay here again and guarantee that no "Admiral" would ever stay here. If you had no other choice in the area I would recommend that you sleep in your car.

Love Belfast, but not this hotel!
No room service whatsoever. We had to ask for fresh towels and even to get them to empty garbage. Old hotel, needs greater care by ownership/ management. We were told was being put up for sale (and there was a sign out front). Hopefully new owners/ managers will care more about the property and the business.
