It’s clean and the room was in good shape. Front desk person was nice helpful. That said, it looks like a lot of the rooms are longer-term rentals. There were several children playing in the parking lot and running around in the lobby area. I also saw toys in some of the ground floor windows, indicating that people were living there. While the room we stayed in looked recently updated, the lobby is pretty rundown. And the restaurant and lounge are closed (with refrigerators and microwaves in what I assume was previously the dining room—probably for the tenants). It’s too bad because it looked like it was a really cool hotel/tavern/restaurant at a previous point in the past. Not planning on ever being back in this area, but I wouldn’t stay here again.

I know we have had a heat wave but room was so hot i barely slept. The windows barely open. The fan was just blowing warm air around. Also am not sure but felt they are now using hotel for single mums. Although not a problem as i was there once. But i feel people should be aware if this is the case. Didnt have a problem with this as was hardly there. I had clumps of hair over our carpet not mine i hasten to add. Was disappointed as have stayed here before a few years ago but has gone downhill

Not as fancy as it looks.

Stayed four nights. Two of those were interrupted by noise next door. Walls are very thin and it doesn't help that TV is mounted onto party wall. No air conditioning, slow or intermittent internet, soap not replenished for two days. An endless walk to the car park and exit. The room was big though.

Nothing to like. Its so wrongly advertised as an upmarket hotel, no restaurant or bar as advertised? Rooms are less then basic, dirty, felt more like someones bedroom or being in a hostel and the reasons for this are (which you aren't informed about prior) is that its now being used as temporary accommodation. Information which should be disclosed ??? Whole reason for our stay was completely ruined because of all of the above issues and wrong advertising and information. Rooms are worth £30 if that so there will an incoming complaint and refund expected

Not a great hot

Hotel was boiling hot, room was very hot and basic, for an executive room. Just a bar of soap in the bathroom, although reception gave me a shower gel when I asked and supplied a fan for the room. Shower was awful would only adjust to boiling hot or freezing cold. Front of house staff were friendly

Can honestly say this was one of the grimmest hotels? I’ve had the misfortune to stay in in a long time. Despite apparently being a four star hotel, what they don’t tell you is this hotel appears to be a migrant hotel which also allows paying guests. Both the restaurant and bar are permanently shut, everywhere you go all you hear is screaming children, rubbish thrown everywhere, facilities all closed and the externals haven’t been cleaned in a long time. Our room not only had a waterfall shower that didn’t work, but the makeshift showerhead that was fitted was both broken and didn’t allow the mixing of cold and hot and therefore it was either freezing or scolding and no in between. The toilet you had to flush six times to get it working. The room was so hot that we literally couldn’t sleep in it and ended up having to spend time sitting in our car outside with the air-conditioning on just a cool back down. When we got into the room, there was one towel between the two of us when we asked for another towel we got the smallest bath towel possible which has stain stains on it, there was a very poor fan in the room however all the plug sockets were so badly positioned. We ended up having to move the bed so that we could actually get some air from this fan. Upon moving the bed we found half a packet of nuts left across the floor that hadn’t been cleaned and dust that I’ve been there for ages. This hotel is at best a two star and is an absolute lie that it’s a four. Avoid!!

Room was dirty with toe nail clippings across the floor. Cabinets in the room were broken. No fan or air conditioning Website stated there was a gym and well maintained garden area. No gym and the garden was completely run down. Windows in the hotel were covered with sheets. Dark and smelly.

Room size was good and clean but pretty dated. No electric points nor light switch near bed. Electric points were in odd places. Drawers in room instead of desk to sit at. Bed was comfortable enough but walls pretty thin - could here music and snoring from rooms next to me. Walk to room was pretty long and lifts out of order. Made for a tiring trip from car to room with baggage. Staff were warm and friendly.
