Basic Hotel for Pocket Change, it ain't the London Hilton but a room for the price of a drink there. NIGHT ONE: Liked · The Receptionist ( Jess ) was extremely presentable & very professional in how she presents herself, her customer care skills were the best of the staff I encountered, I gather she is the assistant manager/manageress ? from what I saw she should be the manager/manageress as she stands out as having the required skills & attributes to make people feel like their stay matters to the hotel. I can't fault any of the reception staff as they all try their best & they do seem to be working in less than perfect conditions due to the hotel not being of an acceptable standard but is suffice as a Bargain Basement Hotel, some remarks made by others are quite harsh as you really do get what you pay for ;-) if you want opulence, pay opulent prices for opulence in a 5 star hotel, if you want cheap & cheerful for pocket change, it is wrong to complain when you get 'cheap & cheerful accomodation ' Disliked · Bed was extremely uncomfortable, no shower in room but there was a bath. Room 302 was a very NOISY room. In defence of the hotel staff they are quite open in telling guests that the bed bases are awaiting replacement & that with the new mattresses I would imagine the sleep quality will improve, if you want opulence, pay opulent prices for opulence in a 5 star hotel, if you want cheap & cheerful for pocket change, it is wrong to complain when you get 'cheap & cheerful accomodation ' but the standard of bedding does need drastic improvement......other than that I found the place suffice for what the room rates are & the hotel has just reopened after a long closure due to COVID-19 I found the hotel to be significantly cleaner than the photos posted on tripadvisor show, so self assessment of the hotel is best made during any stay you make. NIGHT TWO: Great Receptionist Staff but currently a SubStandard Hotel with no frills etc. Liked · Receptionist ( Linden ) was trying his best to make guests feel welcome,however it is quite a hard job for the receptionists because the hotel is quite shoddy in appearance in most areas. I actually stayed 3 nights on a recce stay to report on the hotel facilities & general presentation. Disliked · The Hotel Management have a policy on taking a £50.00 security deposit ( if you don't pay, you don't stay !!! ) Now, whilst I didn't personally worry about that as it is a REFUNDABLE PAYMENT if nothing is maliciously damaged or breakages occur I do feel it is worth mentioning it because some clients booking a room here might be on a tighter than normal budget & not have a spare £50.00 to leave at reception during their stay ( The payment has to be paid in CASH as well ) During my 3 night stay I was given rooms on the 2nd Floor ( which is actually the 3rd level by US standards ) & there isn't a lift in the hotel. The corridor on that level doesn't have lighting all around the corridor so it i
Very Good
