Dirty rooms with serious and on-going bedbug problems. I complained to management and they sprayed pesticide in my room and on my clothes left on the bed without notifying me. Between the bed and my clothes and not being aware that they had used chemicals in my room, I got a major exposure and my skin broke out in terrible... More

Booked and paid to stay in the Pop Room for 8 nights, lasted for 6 (no refunds). The room was clean and spacious but with no air conditioner we had to leave the windows open at night to get some breeze. Unfortunately this breeze also contained noise and cigarette smoke from people drinking, smoking and swearing loudly on the fire... More

We stayed there about a month after the new owners took over and I felt real sorry for them as they had everything go wrong and bad reviews which were from the previous dude. Anyway, they were still friendly, kept it clean and did their best under the circumstances. The location, cheap meals and cosey feeling, would make me go... More

When they wanted to check in the room was not ready, we returned later in the afternoon and it still was not... More

If you like beeing bitten by hundreds odf bedbugs, if you like stepping over Cockroaches and if you like to see the rats come out of the fridge. Then this is the place for you. If you dont'.... stay as far from this place as you can, cuz it's full of all of it! More
