I checked in Bert late in the evening and it was quick and easy.
The room was very spacious but had a water leak near the front door so there was a dripping sound all night. The smoke alarm was not fitted and was hanging from the ceiling.

Room was old and tired, looked as though it has never been renovated since it opened.
Booked for 2 stayed for 1.
That about sums it up.
Only one room key for a room that sleeps 4.
Not good
I booked a new updated room but got an old room and no refund of the price difference.
Bathrooms were filthy, moldy and very aged. Bed sheets were stained or dirty.

It was good just a little old, the tv didn’t have ans
Besides the wrong day being booked - the room was unmade up with used condoms everywhere. Used pizza boxes and wet towels scattered around. It was disgusting.
I left the room and the establishment.

The mattress was very hard resulting in little sleep. Stain on the footbed cover. Lots of water wasted just to get hot water.
The room for a "Delux"No29 was a discrace.Shower was delipateded,outdated,no cutlery not even a tea spoon for coffee.Had to ask for for more condiments and another cup.Noisy Water pipes ect
People doing drugs in car park. People walking around all night and a lady calling for her dog all night inside and out. Need to do something about it but overall it was a good stay

Good enough for the price paid. Unfortunately the room next to ours very noisy all night until 4am. We did not rest well. Room quirky. Beds comfortable. Some interesting characters getting around in what look like long stay accomodation. Did the job for the 1 night needed.
