AVOID walked in and was met by building materials in the reception area. And the owner manager in pyjamas. The room was dirty. Top drawer of unit was like a used ashtray. Paper peeling off the ceiling and bathroom walls. Cobwebs all over bathroom walls. Rusty shower head holder and dirty shower cubicle. Had no working lamp and only 1 bedside cabinet. The wardrobe had bits of blue tack and what looked like chewing gum too.all stuck down one side.was told TV remote was broken and they hadn't replaced so had to spend 10inutes stood looking through channels finding something to watch using buttons on TV. Hospitality tray had 4 t bags 6 sugar and 6 milk in a double room and No coffee at all (I dnt drink tea). Was looked at like I'd asked for the world when I asked for more.with wasn't there any there as the comment manager made.Kettle stopped working so phoned to ask for replacement to get told there was no one to help as she was out and if I didn't' like having to wait till she came back to property I could always get in my van and go Home. As apparently it's an unmanned hotel ?? Went to get the iron and board off the wall holder in the hallway to have it all fall off the wall onto me it pulled wall plugs out as we're not correct fixings for stud walling.iron landed on my foot.thankfully it was a small travel iron type thing so was just left with a bruise and pain when i put shoes on later.no breaks. The room was cold as heating wasn't on long enough to make a difference AVOID.

I understand this is a "budget" hotel but...Certainly not as advertised online. It is very very "drab". The television didn't work, no signal at all, constant dripping tap Grubby grey towels, no toilet brush, no hand soap, no coffee in the tea caddy, nobody around when you need them. They advertise politely that you respect there are children living there and to be quiet between certain hours. The said children were actually the ones to keep us awake and woke us early in the morning by running up and down, shouting and banging up above us. Luckily, we just needed somewhere to rest our heads...it certainly was not restful but we were knackered. Will definitely not be returning

Overpriced
Holey towels that were like sandpaper. Ceiling sagging in bathroom. Bed too small. Outdated. Had to put kettle on floor to boil. Slow to let us in, standing outside in pouring rain waiting on a reply to doorbell. Temperature in room was good though. Glad it was only 1 night. Not value for money
