“At least i wasn't bitten....”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2010

Thanks to the bright spotlight outside my bedroom window, i didn't need to use a light in my room until after midnight.

My 'wardrobe' consisted of hangers hanging off the television bracket on the wall, various stains on the ceiling caused by god-only knows what and why the huge mirror next to the bed when there is a big mirror in the 'shower-cupboard'?

Breakfast was ok, though i had to ask for some fresh toast as i wasn't too sure how long the toast that was on every table had been there, this wasn't a problem for them and hot toast was supplied.

Beds were comfortable, but the 'blankets' were a little on the thin side.

Would have been nice if the lift available actually got fixed sometime in the next decade too :)

“The Blackpool slum!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2010

It is without a doubt the dirtiest and most run down place I have ever stayed, and bear in mind i've been to India 10 times!!The carpets, and decor were pre 1960s and filthy, the bedrooms were small and pokey, windows filthy, and bloke on reception was like a walking corpse!!
Don't even bother booking here if you want a nice relaxing time!!!

“Horrible hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2010

this place is so dated its still in the 70s it could do with a real good clean and coat of paint,the matress had a hole in it plus there was something crawling on it,the only thing that was half decent was the breakfast,really needs a makeover in a big way !

“Its a bloody dump”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2010

We got there at 8 pm Dying for a drink couldnt wait to get a coffee after travelling for 5 hours. we checked in and got our keys. as soon as we opended the doors we looked at each other and said faulty towers here we go. The carpets didnt reach the skirting and was filthy. we didnt dare take our shoes off. flicked the light switch on to find the shower turned on in the bathroom. 1930s Tv staring at us which wouldnt even work as it wasnt digital. Bed clothes were like the first ones ever made and had been worn in well and truely. All furniture was falling apart pull the drawers open and the front would fall off. no handles on the furniture to open. Curtains were only good for rags they were odd with one at least a foot longer than the other. The bathroom was mouldy all round the shower which was either too hot or cold. had to hold shower head in hand as was broken. Skanky cheap 99p plastic toilet seat. Door locks werent to safe. Afraid to have a coffee in our room as the kettle supplied was filthy, cups dirty and had no milk just sugar and coffee sachets. where as my parents had just milk with no coffee or sugar. Went down in the morning for breakfast was ok but thought it would be better although the first morning it wasnt all you could eat as advertised. it rained the whole time we were there but we rathered walk the streets in the rain all day than return to our hotel. the only plus side i can give is the location with how close you are to the centre.
want my advise "dont stay there"
If you cant find anything online. Find somewhere when you get there as there are plenty of nice hotels up the streets with vacancies.

“Health and Safety warning to all, BEWARE ALL LIES!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2010

The advertisement is all lies, no working TV's in hotel, showers either boiling or freezing (risk of scolding), dirty rooms (understatement!!), broken sink pedestal (sharp and dangerous), stains on the ceilings (?from what, who knows?) Linen is full of holes and ancient. It is for the people who get that drunk they do not know where they are and the hangover blots it out. Got told on arriving if the Fire Alarm goes off, come down to check as faulty!!! Do not know how they are able to advertise lies and put people at risk as well as children. Does anyone check these hotels?? What a waste of money, but if you cancel everyone charges you so you are stuck if on a budget. This should be advertised for those who are going to get drunk, don't care about their health and not bothered about knocking on your doors in the early hours. Love to see people having fun, don't get me wrong, but it would worry me if they hurt themselves whilst in that condition as highly possible in this hotel.
BEWARE ALL!!!
You can get some nice B&B's/Hotels, better to check the reviews first for sake of your health and safety.
