Stayed here for (thankfully) one night only,booked last minute through lastminute.com.Shouldn`t have bothered,would have had a better night in the car! They were informed on a couple of occasions that i would be arriving late in the night,about 11.30-11.45pm,i even ramg them myself to confirm this.So,when i arrived at 11.40,i was met with 2x doorbells and some phone numbers,rang each doorbell NUMEROUS times,and also rang BOTH phone numbers at the door,again numerous times to be let in,although there was lights on everywhere still.No luck,had to ring back laterooms,after going mental on the phone to them for giving me a phone speaker who didnt speak/understand a word of English,i got onto someone who did(and £10 credit on my PAYG mob phone too!).tthis point i`d been stood at their front door,frantically kicking the hell out of it,ringing doorbells etc for 40mins.Laterooms finally got through to the Hotel to let them know i was there.Let me in and up to the room,what a mess,every single piece of material on both single beds was un-matched,like it was just a patchwork quilted bed,done from a load of scrap.After 2mins of being in the room,i went back downstairs to tell them the telly wasnt working,the woman sent her husband into my room in his PJ`s to tune it in(looked like they just got new TV`s and they`d never been tuned in yet!).He was there for about 45mins!Couldnt hack it anymore,the more i looked around,the more things wrong with the place i found.The next morning i looked out the back window to what looked like a rundown area of Manchester.Went downstairs for breakfast,the room was just full of cheap tatt,like everything had been taken from a refuse tip to decorate/fill the place.The idiotic owner then asked me what i`d like for breakfast,i said a`full English`to which he replied,`what would i like`,i then made it plain and simple,a bloody English breakfast!So it came,and the plate was almost bare,the egg was sliding side to side as he placed it infront of me,2x chipolata sausages,and the worst crappy bacon ive ever seen,that was it,i had to ask them TWICE for toast!All this was finished off with an obese slob sat on the table next to me honking her breakfast down like a pig from a trough.So i then got out of there pretty handy,upstairs to grab my things and go,on the way up,there was an argument going on at reception,a couple hadf just walked in(from what i gather)and they were being charged £30 more than what the agreed price was on the phone,the reception was open to the stairs so i heard this all the way up!Anyway,2mins later and i was on my way down and there was an almighty racket going on by now,the Hotel owner(the same guy serving me breakfast,and who tuned in my telly) was screaming a torrent of abuse at the customers,they were heading out the door at the same time as me,i congratulated them on their bright move to not spend the night there,although without a doubt they still got charged for it if they handed over their card details!
