Property is very tired and in need of investment. Staff were good and room and linen was clean, but TV didn’t work, windows were loose and fridge leaked. None of these issues affected us hugely as it was just a stop off. But for £300 a night, it was poor.

Anthony

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is very run down and the area is very noisy. The room was cleaned but the floor was wet when we checked in, so used a floor mat to dry it and it came up filthy. Most of the trim and walls had dirt/mold on them and the shower drain was rusted. The exterior is under some kind of slow renovation because the framing work that was done has not been painted and the lumber has been sitting a while. The gentleman who checked us was very friendly and helpful, but for a hotel that was getting $500 for a premium weekend they need to up their game.

The room is outdated and there were minor discrepancies, but overall had a good experience. Well-valued and taken care of as best as it could be working with an old building. I was not a fan of the fact that the bathroom could have been more thoroughly cleaned (water spots on the faucet, unclean towels, strands of hair left in the bathroom) and there was only bedsheets on the bed without a comforter or other over cover. Great & helpful staff!

The room was renovated in the 50s or 60s of the XX century… withe the contemporary prices. It is old and run down. It did not have even the simplest amenities like ventilation in the bathroom or the hangers in the closet. The sheets were probably the cheapest they could only find….

Property was under construction? My room had no lamp, paper keeping cabinets from opening and furniture falling apart. The bathroom had a faucet that needed repairing, cigarette burns on the bathroom counter as well. Im not sure my room had even been cleaned before i checked in. I found a razor and shampoo in my shower from the previous guest when i checked in and a blanket in the closet wadded up in the corner. Guaranteed this room wasnt cleaned. For $125 a night....i expected more.
