Great
Our room is in need of maintenance as the shower screen door rail was coming away from the wall. Was generally looking worse for wear and would benefit from a renovation. But the staff were accomodating and nice.

It was absolutely hideous like something from a movie where they go to a motel to dye their hair and put a fake beard on while hiding from the police. Check in I had to ring the bell numerous times and ended up having to ring them before somebody eventually came out and gave us the room keys. We had two rooms and we went and opened them. The doors a child could’ve kicked them open. There was no lock no security. The rooms were thick with dust and really irritating on the throat. I went out and bought clean pillowcases from the outlets across the road so that at least our heads were on something that was clean. the furnishings were decrepit. The bathroom was very very subpar. There was a fresh roll of toilet paper individually wrapped in in paper but it was wet and so I had to unroll about 3/4 of it to find some dry toilet paper. from reception you could see through to what was once a bar area just completely full of junk. I just I have no words for how vile it was.

Absolutely worst place I’ve ever stayed in my life rude arrogant very hard to understand our room flooded because of pipe burst in the other room and my elderly parents had to leave at 3:30 in the morning because the room was full of water around the bed and bathroom When I rang reception to talk to them the next day I basically got told that it wasn’t bad enough that they had to leave there be no no refund. No discussions bad luck. I would recommend that no one ever stays here again. They are the worst people to deal with.
