Efficient, cost effective, but tired.

First time in this hotel, normally stay at the Barclay but wanted a bigger room and not to pay silly money. Suite was large and comfortable, amenities OK. This is not a high end hotel; very much mid range. Room was tired and dusting on surfaces was poorly done, as was cleaning of the bathroom. Felt a bit grotty. Electric blinds in the room were half broken. Generally the staff were nice and helpful. Saving grace was the competitive price for the room although we did book last minute. Less than 50/50 whether we would stay again as the hotel desperately needs some refurbishment and cleaning standards must be improved. At least the bar was in the process of being refurbished... This meant it was closed, but there's a very good alternative 2 doors down.

Would book again

Room was clean & pretty spacious. Our balcony didn’t have a chair & that’s all I’d recommend. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the shower because there wasn’t a door or shower curtains, so the water was splashing

If you have a kid in diapers, dont stay here. No trashcans anywhere in the hotel except your room. They expect you to keep dirty diapers in room because if you keep it outside your door to take to garbage outside the hotel, staff and maybe a guest complains. The hotel staff send nasty texts about kicking you out if it happened again. They dont offer any advice or let you know of an area to throw them away.
