Unfortunately the property was falling apart in the corridors and the carpet smelt of damp with leakages of the ceilings, with a lot of buckets in the corridors collecting water. Rooms itself was standard, didnât get mugs for our room, we had to get them ourselves front the services as thatâs where the check in was.
The outside of the lodge suggests it should be a well maintained property. But your first entry through the front door spoke volumes as to what was to come. As we entered we saw overflowing bins of rubbish and filthy carpets well overdue for a vacuum and shampoo. Now on to the room and the corridors. Many buckets catching but mostly missing dripping water from pipes in the ceilings. The corridors were an obstacle course of buckets, ceiling tiles and wet carpets and the overwhelming smell of damp damage. The room at first glance looked Ok. The bed had been changed and was comfortable. Nothing was missing from the room. But later we did find the toilet had a loose base and was a little bit discerting. The shower although hot was way too powerful and overwhelmed the shower curtain. Inturn because the shower base was not deep enough and the curtain took short. The carpet in our room was stained and dirty. With some time and money spent in the right places this place could be very good.
The place was dirty leaking roof my first room the toilet was constantly running shower curtain and pole where abandoned in the corner behind the door the second room they gave us had apparently just been cleaned but it was dirty the bath had a few inches of dirty water in with floating dirty toilet roll in it
For the price it is ok considering it was the cheapest in the area.
However the doors slam quite loudly, also I found the room smelt a lot of smoke which for a non smoker wasn't great.
Finally there was a very bright light outside the room and the blind didn't block it.
Apart from that the room did the job.
First impressions were very good . Bathroom door handle was not secure (just pushed on ) the bedding seemed clean and fresh but i stripped the beds in the morning and the duvets were badly stained
Then Location was convenient for our purposes. The room was ok. The bathroom floor was dirty in the corners/edges, and the sofa bed was dirty underneath. The pillows and sheets on the sofa bed were not clean. There were many obvious leaks throughout the property.
The external services were fine, I.e. Greggs, Starbucks etc. although the communal seating areas were not clean.
Easy to check in, quite and good location. The only downside was tidiness, room looked not been cleaned at all. Only one toilet paper roll and tiny amount of toiletries for a five night stay was a downside. As well no soap.
Property was nice i didnt like the check in what was at the service station waiting in line for people to pay for shopping and fuel it took ages the room could of done with a fan in them as it was hot and if you opened the window you could hear the cars/lorries drive past and finding the hotel using the postcode supplied i got lost maybe tgats my own fault but the room was lovely new style and clean i wouldnt say it was a bad experience at all just a little hot
Leaks all down the corridor, smells of damp, blind was broken in the room. Asked for the sofa bed to be made up for when we arrived. It wasnât made up, went to the garage which is where you check in and was asked if Iâd not brought my own covers!! Avoid avoid
I would have given higher marks had the communal areas (entrance) been hoovered a little more. Despite some of the negative reviews I stayed in Rm 24 and had absolutely no complaints about it. Staff were really helpful
