Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean and cool. My only issue was the front desk was unmanned (due to a holiday) and in order to check in, I had to call to get a key code. This was not obvious as the signage was "We've stepped away for a bit, but we'll be back shortly". Another guest came over to tell us to call. Otherwise the stay was nice.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Parking was next to a derelict car. What can I say in favour of the room? The lamp shade was nice. other than that the room was appalling. The room was very smelly, old, tatty, damaged worktops, damaged shower, no Jug/kettle, no hairdryer. Amenities were very basic. Curtains were tatty. The staff were unhelpful. The lady who gave us the keys insisted on taking my credit card details to cover "incidentals" The photos in their brochure is of a new block. We were put in the older rooms which need bowling over.
Worn out unmatching kitchen doors
Delaminating joinery
Damaged cheap worktop

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I was particularly concerned that my credit card was taken into a separate room at check-in. Most irregular. It is hard to know if the property is being redecorated or just in a permanent state of decline. Cabinetry was falling apart, shower door was unhinged. New bathroom door was 1/2 painted. Windows were filthy. But .... new vinyl, carpet and microwave. Cleaning solution smell was overpowering. Plates were dirty in the cupboards. Don't think I will be staying again.
