Disappointing

I visited the property on 30 of may for one night only .... I haven't never stayed in a room that falls apart and a bathroom where you can only use the shower side ways .... The receptionist was friendly and so does the housekeeper . The only clean things in the room where the sheets . Location wise was fantastic but really for £80.00 is was a joke . Of course I won't never stay there again ,I only booked it because it was the only place available location wise .

How is this on here?

In all honesty, I would never bother again. Utter shambles and quite horrid. I only stayed here as everywhere else was fully booked and an extortionate price. I would have been better off sleeping in the car. Don't get me wrong, the staff were friendly, but it is a shocker!

Wouldnt stay again

We paid 320 for 2 nights for2 rooms there is no fridge in rooms as stated and no bath as stated no common room. But workers did try hardest to fix everything breaking such as no tv ariel shower door handles breaking and curtain pole falling down. Couldnot shower as water just stayed boiling hot. Sink also had blood spat down it not cleaned and shower was filthy. One bed had blood on sheets but they did change it asap

Shoddy

Poor throughout. No breakfast. No parking. Toilet seat broken. Wifi didn't work. Room so small, it was like playing Tetris just to fit our bags in. No room for a chair. Only room for one bedside table. Couldn't sleep because of the screaming and fighting of the pissed-up holidaymakers in the vicinity. Shoddy

Hell hole

We had to forfit the money we paid we couldnt stay there it was awful .It was like a hostal no lock on the door no tv sheet hang at the window. No cups tea bags etc just thrown on a shelf.bathroom was so small you woulnt be able to dry in there after a shower.No parking stairs going to rooms were i thought dangerous . They did offer us a upgrade but that wasnt much better and could smell smoke were people obviously smoked in the rooms awful place to stay. I wish i got photos but we was so shocked i just wanted to cry .

This property is run unprofessionally. In my opinion it is a serious fire, health and safety risk, unclean, and unworthy to be called or sold at any price as a hotel. I am surprised it is on your listings? They did not even have our redervation.

Friendliest staff you could come across. Rooms themselves are what you pay for, but very clean, comfy bed, warm, plenty towels, tea and coffee, even shampoo and conditioner. Bargain stay. Don’t expect the Ritz, you get a welcome stay without the glitz

Awful but cheap

I don't really know what to say about this place. Yes it was very cheap but needs improvement. Room 3 very cold, heating inadequate, awful draft from windows. Dirty shower (but hot), toilet hardly flushes, dirty cup, tv stand broke so tv was on the floor with about 3 bbc channels working, a previous guests pants shoved down the side of the bed and someones pot pipe on the wardrobe. No fridge or wifi, not that this bothers me but shouldn't be advertised if not available. The only reason I would stay here again is if absolute desperate.

6/10 Good

People smoked weed in the rooms and there was a heavy smell everywhere. There was no bin in the room and the cups were dirty. Guests didn't get a code for the entrance unless they ask - how would you know you should ask about it? So there were 4-5 people who couldn't come home after a night out because the card was not enough to open the front door so they rang and shouted and banged on door under our room and I ended up walking up and down on the stairs at night to let them in. Otherwise the employees were kind and we just wanted a short break very cheaply and we got that so it's all good eventually.

2/10 Poor

Nothing was what we paid for. Not sea view, not queen size bed. Room too small, unable to use the shower as too small, bathroom area far too small. The corridors were very narrow and not happy to be able to escape in a fire. Stairs very dangerous to the first floor.

They weren't aware of our booking on arrival, there were no bath towels in the room then none available so had to make do with hand towels, no curtains so sleeping beyond dawn impossible, paper thin pillows, broken shower than ran super hot to freezing at whim with a broken shower head that had rusted away from the wall and kept falling on you. Good wi-fi, great location, clean linen, friendly house-keeping but overall very disappointing.
