I stayed 1 night in this excuse for a hotel, the place isnt signposted at all from the main road and using my columbo powers of detection i eventually found the place. The outside resembles a gypsey camp site and with the dog hair in the flower beds more like a bosnian mass grave!...The staff were present and showed me how to open the main door - didnt tell me anything else about the facilities available - if there were any..??The room was well equipped for a 1 night stay,a wall mounted tv, a kettle with coffee and milk.. although the decor is tired and shabby. The bathroom had mould in the tile grout, The duvet was paper thin and the pillow felt as though i was sleepng on a pizza box. The curtains allowed more light in when drawn - so i was kept awake by the glowing orange security light outside, it was like close encounters of a third kind.. Breakfast was something from a hostel, and the cooked breakfast you had to pay for - this isnt advertised on the website!...I have stayed in some dodgy places in my 19yrs in the Armed Forces - but this place is like a bad night in bosnia.
