We arrived all seem good. Radiator in the bathroom had a bad leak so every time you went to the toilet, your pants and socks ended up soaking. We were on the bottom floor right beside the front door which we Heard banging every time anybody come in the people stopping above us arguing all night And they knocked on my door Disturbed me and my two children then 3 police Vans arrived For the people arguing, then we got disturbed again with the police at our window with Set of ladders To Claim up to the top room above us So I was not good at all as my children were very scared spoilt our weekend that was on the Friday night then on the Saturday afternoon we had the police back at the door. We have been looking forward to this weekend for awhile and it got spoilt by the police and the people upstairs it’s not what you expect when you pay for hotel for a quiet weekend so pretty much waste of money I thought the manager might to come and see us on the Saturday to explain what was going on with all the police Outside, my window but never heard anything to be quite truthfully I think they should’ve been an apology and maybe it’s a bit of a refund as I drove for two hours to get there spent quite a bit of money on the hotel. My kids ended up scared and not want to go out.
Good value for money. The main opportunity for improvement is their service. When we arrived, no one was available to give us our key. There was a phone number to call on the front door. We called for about half an hour repeatedly with no answer and were considering going to another accommodation. We thought we had been scammed. We were tired, cold and unhappy. Finally we met another guest who said the same thing happened to them. We finally got through to someone who gave us the code to our room.

There was no heat in the bathroom. Portable heater in bedroom area barely gave warmth to sleep comfortably. Ceiling needs repair from upstairs water leak. Worst issue was the noise - slamming doors, stomping up & down the stairs & knocking noisily on our room door after midnight. Other guests we believe were students. We should have been made aware of that before reserving. Noisy until 2:45 am.

Room could do with updating but was clean and tidy
Check in was not smooth.
It was "self-check-in".
We had to ring numbers but nk answer at first.
Then when we finally got someone it was an extremely slow process.
Really lacked the personal touch.
The room was nice, comfy.
Quite noisy with passing traffic.
The bathroom was not good at all.
Shower - a trickle of water, but thankfully have family/ friends nearby to use theirs.
Mirror - filthy with blood(??) Or paint on.
Service, not great.
So impersonal.
Will not be staying again.
Fine for 1 night.
Needs a huge amount of decor change and would be nice if check-in was with a person... in-person.
The exterior doors to the room did not lock and the springs were coming through the mattresses. Very uncomfortable. Intermittent issues with hot water and water pressure when using the shower. Spacious room though even if tv was small and tilted and cable was fuzzy. We spent most of our time out of the room.
Thought we were staying in a halfway house
Dont stay in the ground floor room ny the front door as the door will be getting slammed all night and you'll have people smoking and chatting outside your window to all hours. There was an elephant stomping around above, shouting with the tv blasting out. We left in the end.
Booking in was fine. Room clean but glass found on top of wardrobe. Bins not emptied daily. No extra toilet rolls. Other guests left front door not shut properly sometimes with the snib on so would not lock. Door bell needs to be prominent hard to see.
The property is well presented with good parking. The room was spacious, clean and had good amenities. The property is about a mile from the city centre . There is a regular bus service into the city which has stops near to guest house.
