I stayed here in 2019 and the standard was much better, i think it's under new management. I was initially given a dirty room but the staff were quick to swap me to another room

Staff efficient and professional. Property a bit tired looking could do with a coat of paint, a good job for the low season. No safety issues purely cosmetic 🤗

Staff were friendly and pleasant to deal with. Bit run down in places with gap filler in some walls, but it was a cheap and convenient location, so it's a case of 'you can't have everything'. Balcony light shining through the curtains all night was really annoying, blackout curtains would fix it.

Old shower with low shower head. Some areas not cleaned. Two queen beds crammed into small area. Okay if you are out all day. Well off road but train will go through a couple of time right beside. Good location for mall.

Would have been nice to have been informed of street detour, but I think that’s more a google apps issue 😅

The room was basic but tiddy qith good pillow selection. Shower was very nice and comfortable.
Lighting made the room very dinghy, cleaners started as early as 7am and very noisey, a small movement from another guest like showers made it hard to hear the tv. Very difficult to access property due to road works which was not made apparent to customers.
The whole aurrounds feels a but run down and somewhat dangerous feeling at night time.

The location was convenient however the property owners need to spend some money to get the place back up to scratch. Lights not working, water leak in bathroom onto carpet and the curtain track fell off the wall when we first arrived.That was fixed immediately.I also changed the batteries in the TV remote.

The hotel does not look anything like it does on line. Very old photos used in advertising.
The manager needs to learn some better people skills dealing with his customers.
Our room didn't appear to be fully clean either.
Other than that, our stay was very quiet and the parking once we found our way in via the road works was very good.
Toilet paper and milk had to be asked for apart from what was there when we arrived.
