I stayed in this place at the weekend with my daughter who had actually booked the nearby Comfort hotel. Due to total confusion, we ended up at this sister hotel as they had no rooms at the comfort which is another story. We were given the twin room, number 2 on the third floor. It is without doubt the worst place I have ever stayed in or even seen. The carpets were dirty and full of mould as were the skirting boards. The beds had no head boards, with only one sheet and a bed spread which with it being December and with little or no heat, made for a very cold night! The television was missing a panel by the infa red light exposing bare wires, the table top fridge was on the floor and there was not one piece of furniture to put clothes in. I would go as far to say that the bathroom was a health hazard. The shower head was totally encrusted with mould and limescale and by the time we had both had a shower, the tray was overflowing, the door even fell off as I closed it! The sink had no plug and the entire room was full of mould. Perhaps the most disturbing fact though,is that being on the third floor, there was no fire escape except down the stair case, with an AFFF extinguisher only being available on the landing below.the instructions in case of fire were in a frame with broken glass and very sharp shards sticking out. I f I could, I would have given it a big fat 0. Please do not stay here. I intend to take the matter further.
