Left after just 1 hour
I booked a 'deluxe room' it was tiny and shoddy. There was damage to the plasterwork, a rusty radiator with the paint peeling and the shower/toilet was tiny. I decided to check out within an hour even though it meant I lost my money as it was non-refundable.

Don’t volunteer to stay here
Having phoned to check latest check in time we arrived at 2045, having been told latest was 2100, no problem we thought, then we were told that we’d have to wait, no reason given, so we waited and we’re taken to the room that smelt of musk and damp, there were holes in the walls and damp on the walls, the bed creaked, bathroom was clean , and the carpet was damp, no actually sodden, I raised these points in the morning and apparently the roof had leaked, it was an old building etcetera etcetera, none of this information was passed to us, we were pushed for time as we were attending a funeral so I left my number and asked them to call after 1400, they said they would and of course didn’t, Young inattentive staff more interested in playing darts
