When i arrived at the property, the outside was very dirty and looked rundown. The room door looked as if it had been kicked in previously, as i entered there was an empty mcdonalds bag and bottles/cans of stella on the side, clearly from a previous guest. The bed sheet had a dried contact lens on it, with the duvet cover had several stains on it. The bathroom smelled of urine and had sticky floors, thankfully there was a bottle of bleech next to the toilet, which i used with soapy water. Drying the floor with the white shower matt, which came up black....... The entire hotel was in serious need of a refurb, the staff and owner clearly have no pride and no desire to improve. I most definitely would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Although comfortable, the whole hotel is very very dated. Shower was a dribble and couldn’t use, toilet didn’t flush properly, and a very musty dated smell. Noisy at the front as not double glazed and main road outside.

Don’t bother .. awful place

Poor check in .. booked en suite and they tried to give me a shared bathroom .. room was filthy .. old sour milk left on the window sill .. rubbish behind bed .. dangerous electric with wires hanging out of the wall .. it wasn’t expensive but some sort of standard is required .. worn carpet and rucked up .. certain it hadn’t been cleaned .. a health hazard

This is a solid tradesmens' hotel, clean basic service and a friendly, personable staff. If you want slick and modern, this is not the place for you; but if you want reliable services and a decent breakfast, this could be your home-from-home.

Good little budget stay

The Hotel is nice overall, not 5 star by any means but the romm was spacious the bed was good, could do with extra pillows and a more modern shower system. Air con would be a bonus. But overall was a decent stay if your on a budget
