The hotel is tired and dated but was clean and staff were friendly/helpful. Our room could have done with being abit bigger, was more suited to 1 person not 2

Our stay was very nice, the building itself is old syle, very 70s, but is very clean and nicely presented, the only fault is that the front desk is from my experience is usually left empty, we waited 10 minutes to be seen to check in and nearly the same to check out, but the staff are very nice

One image says it all. Avoid at all costs. The hotel smells of mould/ damp as you walk in. I was told I had the best room. Hotel think it’s completely acceptable to let a child sleep next to a mouldy bed. Bed linen dirty. Walked out of the hotel, was told I could get a refund only for them to retract once I disputed with hotels.com

We didn't even unpack and left due to damp, moldy, smelly room, water damaged stained floor in bathroom. The room we booked was not the room we were given the photos used on Expedia are probably from the previous owner as they look nothing like it inside. Aweful. Makes me question using Expedia as they can't have checked the state of the place!
