Both the chord for the window blind and the light in the bathroom had snapped off. You had to be a least 5 foot tall to turn it on. I had to pull the bed out to plug my bedside lamp in. There were not enough electrical points in the room.
They were not doing breakfasts either which was disappointing. The overall appearance would be described as tatty especially the bathroom with tatty paint work on the door surrounds and radiator.
The shower was good the beds clean and the towels were fresh.
Plus points. Okay for a one night stay if you need to be somewhere early.
Minus points. Hotel does not serve food. Blood on the sheet from previous use. Serious yick factor.
Single glazed crittal windows with awful condensation and black mold all around the base and covered up with a blackout blind. Which I guess they placed in the hopes of nobody looking behind it.
Rotten wood around flooring where the shower is and into bedroom. I took photos in order to show the hotel but when I went to check out there was nobody there. So I had to post the key through the letter box. So much for 24 hour staffing.
Was a last resort choose as accommodation near to Sandringham Heritage live concert were sold out or too expensive

payed for 3 nights only stayed one room was tiny 1 plug socket.no fridge.no wi fi working room walls could use a paint as dirty had to leave due to not being able to continue working via my laptop,ended up costing me time and money for nothing refund would be nice for the 2 nights i didnt stay!
Unable to contact anyone on front desk to approve a late check in. I was given multiple phone numbers to try and all of them didn’t dial.
OYO call centre is also a joke, unable to locate my booking and they were unable to help with the communication problems. One person I eventually spoke to said “You’ll have to sort it yourselves” after providing a number I’ve already tried.
A joke of a hotel chain. AVOID
Completely deserted - google maps said permanently closed. I had to check it was open. On arrival I had to call a mobile number posted on the front door for someone to let me in.
The rooms themselves are ok, the hotel had been refurbished but does not look used. Other than rooms nothing is functional, kitchen, bar etc.
The room was in a converted stable type block, with something scurrying around in the roof space intermittently!
No drinking water (taps), the pressure of the water both hot and cold was a dribble to say the least. I didn’t chance the shower.
Luckily I was only staying for one night. Sadly I would not recommend this place to stay.
