Absolute dump and ripoff
This place is an absolute dump and not worth the money spent. I usually stay at the Park Grand nearby but it was booked out so I tried this place as the pictures made it look modern. Pictures were very deceptive. Room was tiny nowhere to open baggage... Everything worn and dirty stains all over the walls and floors, no working tv, no air con, room was so hot and stuffy I barely slept. Bathroom awkwardly designed like a closet, couldnt sit on toilet properly... Rooms noisey, one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in barely worth 30 pound a night let alone the 129 the charged me.

Avoid this place
This place was not worth the money. There are so many things wrong with this place. We had people trying our door all day and night. The bathroom had black mold in it. I booked a room for two and there was only enough supplies in the room for one. The toilet had a crack in the seat. Every time you sit down it would pinch you. The keys on the room would keep resetting. Really irritating when you are in a place for three days and you have to go to the front desk multiple times a day. The last thing I will say but the is a whole lot more is every where you look there are signs that says the hotel is not responsible for stolen items. Are you have that many issues!? You can tell they don’t invest any money back into this place.

The room was disgusting. The bed sheets were clearly dirty, the carpet was filthy, the walls were stained, the entire bathroom was unclean with no soap, shower gel, or shampoo provided. The shower was dangerous. It suddenly goes from cold to boiling hot and never settles into a consistent temperature. I stayed for two nights and the room was never attended to or clean sheets provided. I had to request replacement toilet roll. On the whole, the worst experience I have ever had in a hotel.

Sadly I didn’t made pictures of the room except the remote. The room isn’t even what shown online. So it was a total fraud. The room is dirty I mean the walls they should do a renovation it’s disturbing.

Not a deluxe double
Booked a deluxe double room. It was neither. Struggled to get in the shower, where the gap to get in the shower (between the shower door and sink) was around 10 inches wide. Room was the size of a box room. Only one towel (a hand towel) - thrown on the floor of the shower, covering the scum. Tv didn’t work. Bed had stains on it. Cardboard pillows. The window wouldn’t stay open, so had to wedge it with my canteen. Should have opted for premier inn, for £8 more.
