Pleasantly surprised at how nice this property was. It would have definitely got 5 stars apart from the renovation to the lift. This didn't detract and would book again.

This was my second stay at the Rooms Inn. I re-booked after my first visit was a really good experience. The room and price of £43 for a double was great. We entered our room on the second visit and initially it looked fine although not as nice as the first one. It looked a bit dated but the bed and the room looked clean. Another story when using the bathroom. The bath, sink and toilet looked clean but then I started noticing all the hairs. A curly on the sink, top of bath and the floor had a lot of ling hair. Obviously, it had not been hoovered or mopped. A couple would not have bothered me. I went to reception and told the receptionist. All the cleaners had gone home but hesaid he would see whathe could do when we went out. Came back, still there. I got soetoilet paper to clean it up myself and found behind the toilet was dirty.
