Was aware of the low ratings for this hotel, but realized that it was really that bad when we got there. If not for the cheap price, i wouldn't consider staying there again. I guess you get what you pay for. 😔

No words to describe this!
There are no words to describe this hotel! Seriously considered sleeping in our car. Luckily we only stayed 4 hours just to shut our eyes before using the shuttle. Do not stay here! Toilet wouldn’t flush which was the least of our concerns.

Cheap and cheerful, nice and friendly staff. Paper thin walls and every time I've stayed the TV control has never worked other than that it's a good hotel.

First room we went into had a strong stench of cigarettes and the bed sheets were damp. Went to reception and they gave us 3 keys for different rooms to try out. Each had their own issues. Dusty and unkept rooms. Very outdated

Never again, this hotel is shocking
The rooms were dusty, and the double base was broken on the left side at bottom. There was an 18th birthday party that went on until 3am, the fire alarm kept going off at this time as people were smoking in their rooms, there was a stench of canabis on the second floor corridor. Some guests never considered others after 12am and were noisy in there rooms. Upon early check out at 0530am the night receptionist was room, when trying to complain, he just said put the keys in the box, good bye

Only if you can manage stairs...
Only booked here as website states is has a lift. My wife and I are disabled and were shocked when on arrival reception said 'no lift, but it's only one floor'. They offered to take our luggage up but for us having to negotiate stars over our 4 night stay was not very good at all. Oddly, there was a sign on the corridor directing you to a lift.... which was locked.
