I was only in there for three nights, but to be honest, I wouldn't want to stay there again. I can't complain about the area as I grew up around the corner so I booked the hotel to visit family (I am living abroad now) - so I knew the area is a bit on the rough side, so that isn't the hotel's fault. The issue is first, with staffing. I got an email that due to covid the procedure changed so I got a code to get in and my key was in the room. I was also given a 24/7 number which I tried to call to find out how to get into the car park. For two days I was not able to get anyone on the phone. I had also two days where I was coming from dinner and new arrivals were standing outside not able to reach anyone from reception to get their key. When I let them in and went downstairs almost two hours later, they were still waiting. Unacceptable. Second issue is Wifi - doesn't actually work. Again, couldn't have ask anyone as no one was available / reachable. Third issue - dirt ... My gosh was the room dirty. The beds were on rollers (which make for interesting sleep) so it should be easy enough to clean under the bed. But something fell down and rolled under the bed and I ended up with dirty clothes when trying to reach it. Oh and the worst - a spare pillow in the cupboard was without cover and horrendously dirty and disgusting ... unbelievable ... Another issue is - it is extremely loud. I believe the building was an office before, especially as it has office ceilings and light fittings, so I could hear the guy next door snoring and the people upstairs going to the toilet ... So no, it was the last time I stayed there .. Def. not a 3* Hotel ...
