ok lets set the picture.
I was going to book the bramall lane hotel for Sixty pounds for one night however it was booked dup. I needed to stay centrally and as a last minute job I decided to Book the Briary as I needed a room ASAP.
NOW...........
as with the other posts when we got there we had to call a number for someone to come and check us in. A very pleasant chap turned up and opened the door. Now don’t get me wrong, the staff here are genuinely very nice and will do anything to help. this review is of the Building and amenities.
we walked into one of the Dingiest halls known to man. The place smells musty. like the windows and doors haven’t been opened and the place hasn’t had a good airing for a long time. I was a student uin Sheffield and it was already reminding me of my student houses.
we were led up a dark staircase to our room (the owners must be afraid to use the lights as they were there and did work, I checked). I wasn’t expecting much but nevertheless I was still disappointed.
the decor was terrible, it looked like it hadn’t been touched since the 50's. much like the rest of the house. There was dust everywhere. even clogging up the ventilation Grate in the room. There was old food/bottles and dust under the bed already. (not ours) and if you moved the bedside table there was all manner of filth behind it.
the room looked tired and old. just dog tired.
the bathroom was pretty clean but there is mould in the shower, it needs re sealing and to be fair the bathroom suite for want of a better word was very old looking even if it was in full working and clean order.
there were cracks in the roof, lose light fittings and patch up jobs not done well.
all in all this place could be a gold mine but its dog dog dog tired at the moment.
if you are on a last minute venture and you need a place. its fine but if you have a choice. Don’t choose the Briary.
