SarahG (dont have a google account so somebody has kindly let me use theirs) - I paid for the room for a guest, the guest then got turned away, because there was 1 digit typed in wrong on the booking, they wouldnt accept his name or let me confirm with my address or email. I tried to speak to them on the phone but they were so rude and wouldnt let me get a word in. The poor guest turned up absolutely drenched as it was pouring down and freezing, they turned him away and he had to sleep rough for the night. They were also rude when trying to sort my refund out. Just be careful booking with

This place has the potential to be a great place, but it is dire need of a facelift. The rooms, lobby and decor are mismatched and dated. It needs to be gutted and given some fresh touches, including some fresh paint colors, decor, drapery and wall decorations. Example...the breakfast area ceiling is painted brown. The basic rooms lack shower curtains and the sink is located in the bedroom. This makes for a messy shower experience. The nicer king rooms have what you need, but the low flow valves on the shower head make showers take 3x as long. However, these rooms also need updating. The positives

Both the male receptionist were fantastic. didn't meet them a lot but you gotta give them some credit. Perfect covid procedures/you can check in whenever you need to. They had met holders at the front holder so check your emails for the codes. Didn't take a pic of the breakfast but they had (full English, vegan full English, beans/eggs on toast and smoked salmon. There are some cereal, fruit and yogurt on the side)
They had a lot of patience.
Gave them incorrect details almost 3 times. Lol
I was waiting for someone to pick me up, they were on a lookout for my colleague. Despite not living

The place itself isn't too bad and i suppose reflects the price we paid. Bit tired and dated but comfy enough. Breakfast was very good. What really annoyed us, was that on the first morning, we returned to the room and it smelt of bleach. We realised that the maid had been in to 'clean' the room whilst we were at breakfast! Never known this before and I've stayed in a fair few hotels in my life. The room hadn't been cleaned just our towels put back on the rail (so we couldn't now tell whose was whose!), and some bleach put down the loo. The wi-fi didn't work in our room and the issue couldn't
