good location hot water dodgy door mold spores

The location was good i thought. The heating worked well I found, so i wasn't cold. hot water was readily available for baths and the hand basin I noticed.

The room i was given had a dodgy door lock. There was also work still to be completed inside I could see. I SAW mold spores growing at the top of the bathroom walls. The cupboard under the sink was very damp TOO, with moldy particles in it.

Functional Stay

helpful staff free parking internet access

The staff was very helpful and upgraded me to a larger room at no extra cost. Free parking was available, a definite plus. I found free internet access, including Netflix, on the television.

I found no toiletries in the bathroom . There was no soap or toothpaste available. The toilet was unused and the radiator provided very little heat.

Service

dirty bed sheets general cleanliness

The staff was willing to help. One employee offered to carry my suitcase upstairs (and it was quite heavy!).

The room had issues. I found the general cleanliness lacking. Plus, there were questionable stains on the bed sheets
