At the time hotel had only one elevator working, other elevator was playing up as well and we had to wait 30 mins for it to get to our floor(2nd)... Lots of hotel guests were using fire escape stairs to go.im between floors during this time, we had to leave again and waited for elevator and decided to.use stairs as wait was unreal. Staff had put towels in the fire doors to keep.them.open and the main fire door entry to the hotel proped open with a bag of cement. Meaning anyone can access the hotel without a swipecard. The fire alarm went off at 12ish and evacuated... this was a nightmare with stairs.there was no staff to be seen or directing and waited out front in the cold for an hour until fire fighters said could go in as false alarm, not the first they have had this week. Going back.in a staff member was suddenly around. Room was ok, comfy bed when we could get to sleep.in it. They have lights shining onto the hotel all night so the room has these coloured lights in the room all night... Avoid this place, its gone downhill and run by staff who dont care about their customers. Poor maintenance and shortcuts to keep the place open, the hotel if it did have a fire would be a nightmare to evacuate. No explanation, no sorry when checking out. I asked if management where doing anything and got a no, but thanks for staying with them. Never again

Proper mugs for tea instead of the tiny cups and our room didn’t have spoons and only 1 toilet roll. I had to go to front counter to get more. Our room was in front of light that is outside on main road which meant you could see the coloured lights change all night from around the edges of the curtain. Suggestion for that light to be switched off around 10pm, or those rooms are much cheaper.

The pool wasn’t working, when we were waiting to check in another visitor was saying the pool is freezing and the guy at reception said the heaters were broken but it’s 24 degree water. The reception was so slow with only have one staff member at the counter around 5pm on valentines. Poor guy had a line of people. The aircon in the room was so

Got charged bar minibar consumption even though we didnt use anything from the minibar. Staff asked us on Sunday morning at checkout and after we said no we hadnt used anything she replyed no problem , goodbye. Then i see at 6.30pm sunday night a withdrawal from my account. I then ring the hotel and argue my case. They say they will refund but the point is they have taken money from me without my authority and afrer reception staff had already accepted my response.they didnt even check the minibar at checkout ,so they took my word for it that we used nothing, but rhen reversed their actions once we had left, kind of like they thought we wouldnt notice the transaction on our bank statement... Very untrustworthy behaviour.the room was fine but I wont stay there again.
