There’s a pub that’s open 24h just at the hotel - the room was incredibly noisy until 3am

Dated. But a bed if you're on a night out.
Delapidated. First family room on the top floor had no flooring down. And the liner was cracked/holed and lifting. Asked to change room. New room had a bathroom floor but shower screen was broke, had to line the floor outside with towels.
The rooms at the front are above a kereoke bar which on a Sat stops at 11 but music till 12am. No air con but i had borrowed a fan from the first room. It was a heat wave at the time. We didnt sleep much.
Fantastic location for Train Station, serious shopping, dinning & Drinks

Great staff. Hallway smelled like cat pee. Rooms were comfortable and relatively clean but in disrepair. Parking is great. Neighborhood is a bit seedy party town. Lots of excellent food options and pubs steps away from hotel.
Good value sized room. Hotel is tired and in need of some TLC. No AC meaning room was very room.

The property was much better than expected based on earlier comments. A little bit worn out but spacious room, comfortable bed, good breakfast and free parking; location in the very center. Overall a good to very good experience.

Property a bit 'tired' and in need of some brightening up.
3rd time of staying at the county hotel. It is very clean although a bit tired & rooms could do with an uplift. Breakfast was excellent, staff friendly, very central. Will be booking again.
Absolutely loved the County Hotel! Everything I needed and staff went out of their way to help.
Beautiful room. Lift was really great because im disabled and find stairs difficult.
Great location and great vibe! I wish I could have stayed longer!
Thankyou everybody at County Hotel. I will bring my dog next time!
Thankyou

Hotel was beautiful in it’s day. Most of the rooms have not been renovated for quite some time. The bathroom had peeling paint, mold and very old fixtures. The windows, carpeting and furniture were very old and worn. We were told 7 rooms were renovated and the one we saw was an improvement. The lobby and common areas still pretty cool to look at although the glass in the entry door was broken and boarded up. The breakfast was pretty good. The lady at the desk at night (Niko) was very nice and accommodating.

A half panel on the shower made it impossible to start without getting wet before the water temperature was adjusted, yet it didn't shield the bathroom from getting soaked while the shower was on. The windows were old and didn't insulate from the noisy street party outside, which went on until 3 in the morning.
