Original room was right next to the lift, it sounded like a train all night. Got moved eventually (after a lot of back and forth). You have to be aware of the location and the people surrounding it, very intimidating during the day, and only taxi at the night (which don't drop you off right at the door you have to walk up the street as well because of the parked cars and the hotel blocking the entrance with cones).

The rooms are very basic, and feel tired and a bit grubby. Check in staff were ok, although it took an hour to get some towels and an iron (that was broken) sent to my room. Inflexible at check out, couldn’t accommodate a one hour extension.

Not a four star experience. More like 1 star

This hotel experience was bad from start to finish. We made a confirmed booking via hotels.com but received an email from the hotel 3 days before saying if we did not pay for the room within 6 hours the booking would be cancelled. We tried to pay via phone and email, doing everything we were asked, but received no confirmation of payment despite repeatedly asking. We arrived after a 6000 mile journey not kowing if we had a room or not. Upon arrival we were asked to pay and were allocated a room, 625. This room had no windows to the outside, broken aircon and a tiny fan that made no difference to the stifling heat in the room. In addition the shower walls were covered in black mould making showering a very unpleasant experience.
