From walking in the door until the minute you leave you will not fail to be unimpressed with this hotel.

The staff (in the singular) spends more time outside smoking than he does at the front desk, in fact I spoke to a couple who waited over 20 minutes just to check in.

We were shown to a filthy room (hairs in the bed and an unidentified brown stain) which upon showing it to the only member of staff working was quickly upgraded to one of their "better" rooms.

We spent the evening out and only returned to sleep (in our clothes) and left at 7.00am.

There were definitely ladies using some of the rooms for immoral purposes which meant there were quite a few "gentlemen" hanging around the reception area at around 11.00pm.

On the plus side this hotel charges £25.00 per for a double room so you can't have it both ways, although my advice would be to pay a little extra and stay elsewhere or be prepared to be very underwhelmed.

Well you would do better staying at the Travellodge next door, but then most nights you would pay more for that. The Metro is basic. We stayed there because they were happy to accommodate our dog, for another fiver, which I thought was a good deal. That did mean that we had to use the bathroom down the hall room, but I guess that is OK.
The experience remedied me of a Youth Hostel. It was adequate and chep. The loos and shower were curious self cleaning units. Personally I was satisfied that it was a good value experience and the bed was comfy.
Oddities were the deposit to borrow a tv remote, but I guess guests must have stolen them in the past, and having rooms without loos, but they have ensuite for a few pounds more if you require that.
On the plus side, it was clean and cheap and they let my dog stay.

We stayed here for a couple of nights .. The room was small but the TV was huge .. It was quite relaxing to lie back on the bed and watch TV. In order to get the remote for the TV you had to pay a deposit at reception, but this wasn't a problem. The room was clean and fresh .. There is was an excellent restaurant close by. The reception staff were friendly and helpful .. Jusging by the cars in the carpark there were plenty of guests but we didn't hear a sound.

We opted for the ensuited double room... it was very tiny, just enough room to walk around the bed and had a wet room built into the room containing a shower, toilet and basin. I was a bit unsure about the ensuite at first but after using it found it quite okay. What we found quite amusing was the room had a MASSIVE LCD TV! Totally out of proportion with the room but we weren't complaining! In the complex of hotels and restaurants in walking distance we had a lovely 3 course meal (Beancross Restaurant) for GPB10 per person which was great quality and value.
