Pleasant

Wouldn't stay here for free

Liked: Staff were friendly. The location was good and the parking was free.
Disliked: Where do I start !! The corridor carpets were filthy. There were 'bits' on the floor and stains that must have been there years. This was on two of the corridors. The room was filthy and very tired. There was no fitted sheet on the mattress. The furniture was broken. The skirting boards were dirty. The bathroom floor was all stained. In fact, I'm not sure there was a clean area in the room, so it would take too long to mention it all. The duvet cover did look white and clean as did a flat sheet on the bed. The bed legs appeared broken, broken luggage rack, dirty windowsill.. I can honestly say I have never stayed in such a bad room. This hotels only saving grace was that the staff were friendly and helpful. The hot breakfast was ok, not too fresh and the bacon was streaky ( the staff said they'd told the boss no one likes it but they're not listening ) and I couldn't eat it as I don't like fat and it was all fat. There was a nice selection of drinks, hot and cold and cereal. I wouldn't have eaten the cold buffet as it looked 3 days old. The bar area was pleasant with a pool table, but the police were there dealing with an incident, and a layabout the staff couldn't get rid of also put a dampener on that area. The lift sounded like it was about to give up, so after using it once, we used the steps, not fun up to the second floor and down with luggage, but it was definitely safer. All in all, never again. This place needs to spend some money and give the staff a hotel that they deserve to work in and customers deserve to stay in. ( There were other nice customers there, and we felt gutted for them to be visiting and end up here).
