We didn’t stay and would...

Liked: Absolutely nothing at all
Disliked: Everything, it was dirty and had a really bad smell, we saw the room which was apparently the upgraded deluxe room, we checked out 5 minutes after checking in, we honestly thought our health would suffer

Uncomfortable, dirty and no running...

Liked: Parking was free
Disliked: In the morning there was no water either hot or cold. The taps did not work and the toilet did not flush obviously the shower did not work. Reception was unmanned and there were no staff on site. We had to leave in the morning after having no water. The Plzce was also scruffy and dirty. The car park was also full of rubbish. This place should not be allowed to trade as a hotel.

Okay for a night stay,...

Liked: Location was good for a course. Price was okay. Parking good. Directions was easy check in was smooth. Had a sink inside the room where I washed my face. Small kitchenette, fridge and heater was in the room, study desk and wardrobe.
Disliked: Basic facilities, bathroom was outside the room and was so dirty had fully greased dirty mat on and shower looked so bad had all limescale on, I could not shower and used the toilet with much difficulty due to the mat on floor as it was not bearable. Single bed was not very comfortable. It was looking like a dorm or student accomodation.

Overall

Liked: Nothing much to say.
Disliked: Double room was was small but ok. Attached bathroom was really small has smallest shower cubicle ever seen. Bed was not comfortable. Nothing much was available for breakfast in the kitchen, few slices of cucumber and melons. Maybe 3 spoons of cold baked beans. No staff member was available to talk.

Terrible place

Liked: The bed was comfortable and the staff nice.
Disliked: The place was dirty outside and inside the window and the door was broken, The breakfast was awful cold beans,cottage cheese, olives, out of date bread and cereals that looked extremely old and stale. The wi-fi broke over night and for a considerable time during the day and the next day it went off too. There were a couple of dirty caravans and rubbish all over the outside. There was an awful lot of noise during the day due to maintenance going on.

VERY DISSAPPOINTING

Liked: Nothing reallyTotal disappointment
Disliked: This room was not the one selected and offered in the advert.Bed very uncomfortable The hotel seemed very rundownOwners probably trying their best but it trulywasn’t pleasant. We were very close to moving on and forgoing our 2nd night. But we couldn’t really afford to throw away the money we had paid ☹️

I would advise Booking.com to...

Liked: We were booked for a Double Deluxe room which I'm sure it wasn't looking at the photos on the website before booking.There was no kettle or toiletries in the room and the toilet only flushed occasionally. We asked to be moved for the second night and the room was a little better at least the toilet flushed. There was no staff in the Dining Room and bins were full and lots of washing up piling up. The continental breakfast was very poor and we did not eat it. There was a note on the 2 fridges about guests marking their own food with their names and their departure date which was very strange. The hotel would be more suited to a student residence or a back packers place. The Wi-fi kept going down. Without doubt the worst hotel I have ever stayed at.
Disliked: Everything
