Fair - 2.5 out of 5

Passable

Liked: The room and bathroom were satisfactory enough for the price
Disliked: Unfortunatley, the toilet seat had a bunch of dried wee on it which I had to clean off with a bar of soap. Especially disapointing when the rest of the room was set up to a satisfactory standard.

REALLY SHOCKING HOTEL, HOW THEY...

Liked: NOTHING
Disliked: THE BEDROOM WAS REALLY DISCUSTING NO PLG IN THE SINK NO LIGHT SWITCH FOR THE BATHROOOM SHOWER WAS REALLY NOT CLEAN A LOT OF SCUM ON THE SHOWER GLASS. IT WAS THE WORST PLACE I HAVE EVER STAYED IN. BREAKFAST WAS A CLEAN THE FORK AND KNIFES BEFORE USE THEY WERE ALWAYS GREASY LOOKING, IT COST 6 POUNDS FOR SOMETHING YOU DID NOT REALLY WANT TO EAT BUT YOU TRIED. ANYWAY I DID NOT STAY LONGER THAN I NEEDED I LEFT AFTER A FEW DAYS AND CAME BACK TO A HOTEL WHICH PUT THAT PLACE TO SHAME. IT NEEDS TO BE UPDATED WITH AT LEAST A COAT OF PAINT. I WOULD NOT RECOMEND THIS HOTEL TO MY WORST ENEMY IT WAS SHOCKING THE MONEY DID NOT ENTER INTO IT I JUST PUT IT DOWN TO A BAD DEAL.
