Needs to work on cleanliness.

The room wasn’t properly cleaned and bits in the shower and on the showers walls. Sink wasn’t properly cleaned. For what I paid for it wasn’t worth the money.

Time wrapped hotel

The hotel is very dated, no money has been spent on the property since the 1960's or 70s the sink in the room was broken and held together with glue with scale in the toilet! typical 60's and 70 coloured bath suite that shows its age. The bed was small and hard and the pillows where cheap and flat. The cooked breakfast was just warm, the toasters were slow and domestic type with people having to queue. Value for money, well not really worth the price.

I arrived to find an event taking place, which I wasn’t made aware of at the time of booking. This event was very noisy and restricted access to a large part of the hotel. My bed linen had stains on it and the water pressure in the shower couldn’t even get the soap off.
