Oh Dear! Where to start.
First impression, Is this the place I saw on the site!! Reception greeting not good. Big Carpet stains on all stairs and passage way. Bedroom, carpet stains and big tear in carpet, approx. 1 1/2 mtrs long - tripping hazard. Bathroom, Our beds Duvet looked like they had just been pulled out of the dryer and were very wrinkled, shower curtain had black mildew at base and specks above. washbasin had water stain where water could not drain. Tea/ coffee provided but no teaspoons or milk. Fridge on but drip tray filled to over flowing. We arrived on the Saturday and were told that the Hotel, restaurant for breakfast and dinner would be closed Sunday and Monday, hence no room service, clean towels etc. when I saw them on the Tuesday afternoon I asked if the room had been serviced they said "we are not allowed inside our room if we are not there" in which they doubled down when i said they could, when i told a employee that we had no towels for days only then did we receive them and they told us "we should've asked" but no one was there, the tea and coffee was finally replenished Aswell, the carpark was filthy and filled with glass and resembled a dump, we had to park on the street, we were exceedingly disappointed with our stay

I felt unsafe there, as we were given a key for the room, and we found out it didn't work at all. We advised them, and they said the battery had run out on the door pad or something. My husband had a guitar which we took up to the room to make sure it wasn't stolen out of our car parked outside, and because they did not attend to our key problem straight away, we had to take it back to the car, As we were going out, the night duty lady kindly said to give her the guitar, and she will lock it in the office, till the door was fixed. When we returned late at night, the door had been fixed. I think it was very poor of them to just give us a key, and not double checking if they worked. And as soon as they were told the problem, they should have attended to it straight away, or at least move us into another secure room. I was very disappointed.
