My stay at this hotel was great except for the cleanliness. The sink was covered in brown sticky liquid, the tables were dusty, the toilet had rubbish on the floor and in the shower from the last person.

Claudia

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was totally disgusting. It was so dirty, the walls were sticky, the floor was sticky, the shower glass was milky with grime...all round, awful. It was a huge safety concern as there were shower caps covering all the fire alarms. I was recovering from an operation and under doctors' advice was told I should not stay there. I only stayed for one night of my booking and had to find other accommodation. They would not refund me and because of that I did not actually cancel my booking because I did not want them having the benefit of renting to someone else.
