Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I would not recommend this hotel at all. I was booked to stay at this hotel and on arrival to my room it was very apparent that illegal drugs had been used. The staff at the hotel were aware of this but had no problem issuing me the room. When I spoke to staff they were unconcerned about the fact drugs were clearly being used at the hotel. I did not stay at the hotel as I was not going to compromise my safety. I would give it very serious consideration before booking this hotel.

Disgusting and dirty

There were dried in wee Staines on the toilet, black hairs on and in the sink, dirt in the bath and brown Staines on the sheet when I pulled back the blanket. The surfaces were covered in dust and cobwebs on the walls and corners of the ceilings. I paid 152 pound for two nights it was disgusting I would not recommend for an extra 40 pound you can book the premier inn where cleanliness and comfort are guaranteed. I will not be making the same mistake again regret not book the premier inn as I usually do.
