Very basic. If you just want a room to sleep in as you're out most of the day, this will do. Otherwise, steer clear. Beds were comfortable and the air con was new. Everything else was pretty shabby. There were cracks in the ceiling, power points were hanging from the wall, the smoke alarm was hanging from the roof with visible masking tape where it had been taped to the ceiling, the TV remote battery cover was absent and the remote was held together with copious amounts of sticky tape and only worked intermittently. The wooden wall in the shower was rotted and cracked. The only window in the room looked out to a fence and concrete. Never again.

Dirty.... tiles broken. Tap almost off. We didn't shower there... first time I haven't used a shower. Perhaps the worst place I have ever stayed. One flat pillow each. Stairs on landing... wood was rotting.

This hotel is filthy. Where do l begin? I think Wotif should have a look at the photos l have taken. Absolutely disgusting. Unsafe and unhygienic. I slept on the floor with my own pillow, wouldn’t even touch the shower or bed. An absolute nightmare.
