Room was neat and clean, for an aged property. Was value for money. Not a lot of food outlets available in close proximity. Beds felt clean and comfortable, which is the main reason for stay.

Yes the hotel has been around for a while needs a good repaint to bring it up to scratch, floor tiles need to be looked at, time has taken its toll on white tiles. it doesn't need to be done straight away you can do a room at a time.

Didn't feel safe in the area nor the hotel property. The room was unclean & check in instructions were confusing (only one door to the room worked with the key & I wasted 10 minutes trying to open the wrong one. Would definitely not stay again

Convenience at a reasonable price.

It was only one night, and it was perfectly adequate. Beds on Castors on a tiled floor are very dangerous. They need rubber grips underneath. Somebody could have a nasty fall, very basic, but very comfortable. They reasonably priced.

チェックインの時間はいつでも可能ですが、セーフティーボックスの中に鍵を入れられていて、あらかじめ教えてもらった番号を入力して鍵を取り出す様式でした。なかに違う人の鍵が何個か入っていて怖いなと思いました。また外で電話している人の声などはかなり聞こえてきました。ベッドが何故かキャスター付き?で寝返りするだけで動くので若干寝心地は悪かったです。清潔感はありました!チェックインもチェックアウトもレセプションが開いていない時間だったのでサービスについては分かりません。チェックアウトはポストに投函で終わりで楽でした。
