Musty Floor and Room

I had modest expectations for this hotel. I knew that the only reason I picked it was because it was offered as a cheap 3 star hotel. That said, I could deal with the walls that needed plastering. I could deal with the cheesy slot machines. I even found the front desk friendly and helpful. However, what was unforgivable was the condition of the rooms. As soon as I walked into the hallway, I was overwhelmed by a musty, stale smell. I hoped that the smell would go away when I entered my room. No such luck. Even opening the window did nothing to remove the smell. It was horrible. My advice is to find another hotel near the airport if that is what you're looking for (my rationale) even if it cost, say, another 10 pounds.

It was Awful!!!!

This hotel was appalling from the moment we arrived. Of 3 lifts, only one worked - very slowly. The key card for the room took 3 attempts by reception to program effectively, necessitating 3 trips up and down 4 flights of stairs (see lifts). After a 20 minute wait at the entrance to the dining room and despite the fact that it was almost empty, we had to book for dinner - presumably the kitchen staff couldn't deal with more than 4 occupied tables at one time. The drink I ordered with dinner didn't arrive - I eventually went to the bar myself, which was unstaffed. Utterly awful. Don't even consider staying here.

Terrible Terrible Terrible

This is the worst hotel we have stayed at. Our intention was to travel the day before our flight to be relaxed and early. Almost every bay of the hotel car park had glass from previous break ins the place is a dated hotel which is best decscribed as grubby. You will not feel comfortable or relaxed enough to sleep, please avoid!

The new Fawlty Towers

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in - in the whole world. My stay was for a wedding, 5 family members with the same name and 4 other family members with a different name stayed for 1 or 2 nights. The staff had booked everyone with the same name into one room! So instead of booking 9 rooms it transpired that we had only booked 2 rooms! The cost of the rooms varied too. Staff were unhelpful (when you could find them),the key card for the room door didn't work,breakfast was appalling,they ran out of cups and coffee, carpets in rooms had not been vacuumed, duvet cover had holes in it, sink had no plug, sink plughole contained dried vomit,lifts didn't work,carpark had 3 cars broken into. Need I go on? Avoid this hotel like the plague.

Hotel Grot

Worst hotel I have ever stayed in, absolutely filthy, rooms thick of dust, sink in bathroom full of gunge round taps, tide mark in bath, carpets filthy. I would never stay at this hotel again, I would rather sleep in the street. Needs a lot of upgrading, in fact I would suggest it is demolished, it is that bad.

Hotel Hades

A truly awful experience. Arriving by car you are met with a concrete monolith surrounding by cratered roads and a multi storey car park seventies cop drama car chases would be set in. Service at reception is slow, surly, incompetent and unhelpful. Staff work strictly in their own little worlds and are not interested in pursuing your requests beyond the bare minimum they can get away with. Non smoking rooms are dirty and smelly. Smoking rooms (that we were initially put into) are frankly uninhabitable, even I would contend, by a smoker. Breakfast is terrible value with what limited fare available frequently running out. Service again conspicious by its absence. Best advice, in all seriousness, is to avoid this hotel. If you're desperate and have nowhere else to stay, sleep in your car at least a mile away. It will have the added bonus of ensuring no one nicks it.

Very disappointing

This hotel was the worst we stayed in during our 7 week tour of UK Germany and Romania. The hallways, stairs and lobby are very worn and in need of updating and cleaning. The room had clean linen, but otherwise dirty and tattered. The windows hadn't been cleaned for years! The method of payment was difficult and un-user-friendly! To get a drink from the bar or pay for breakfast, it had to be pre-approved at the desk, pre-charged and later credited. Can't believe we couldn't sign for it at the time. Breakfast was adequat but nothing special and NOT included in the price of the room. The airport transportation was limited and ran only every 1 1/2 hours. We would never recomment this hotel or stay there again!

Awful hotel

This is probably the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. Had to book an airport hotel last minute before we flew to Canada as the weather was bad so we needed to be at the airport. Staff were ok, but hotel was cold, not very clean. Sheet in the room was dirty, button in the lift was broken, there was nowhere to park and the breakfast was terrible. Don't stay here! The place should be closed down.
