I cannot recommend this place at all. They get one star because of The Good: the staff were friendly, the room was reasonably clean and the mattress was comfortable and the car parking was free. The Bad – the pillows were dreadful. Very thin and not comfortable at all. Also, though it was clear the bed linen had been washed, not all stains had been removed. There were still blood marks on the pillow cases very visible. I know that other people use the room before me, but I don’t want to have that reminder literally in my face! The room was very cold. The quilts on the bed are again very thin and are exactly the size of the single bed so there is no overhang. Luckily, I was a single person in a twin room so I was able to get the second quilt off the other bed, but I don’t know what you would do if you sharing the room with someone. I was put in room 2 (the accessible room) on the ground floor with a window that is exactly level with the customers sitting on the benches outside. You will need to keep the curtains closed at all times. Luckily, they are very thin cream curtains that look very pretty, but do nothing for keeping out light. If you are a light-ish sleeper you will be woken up as soon as dawn starts – they do not have any kind of blackout curtain. The TV is tiny (like the size of an A4 sheet of paper) and hung in such a position that you can’t watch it unless you are standing directly in front of it. You can’t sit looking at it, because it does not have any directionality to ensure the picture remains good from every angle. On to The Ugly and it was Ugly. Room 2 has been carved out of the bar area (I can only guess that they were forced to add an accessible room) However, the owners did not put up a proper wall, they only put up a stud wall. So you hear everything. Clearly. As if the customers were sitting next to you. Or, as in on my horrifying night, you get back to the OPO at around 10.45pm ish to discover that there is a bad disco going on in the bar. You know, where my room is. And do you know what is worse than a very loud, bad DJ? Really, really dreadful karaoke where the actual music is lower than the disco was, but the mics of the “singers” is turned up much louder. It was awful. And just when it could not get any worse, it did. At around 11.45 ish a group of lads decided that “singing’ was too boring and instead they were just going to scream in to the mic. Until 12.37am. And yes there is a reason why I keep putting singing in quote marks. It was so loud. So loud that I could not hear the telly. If I had been sharing a room I would not have been able to speak to them without shouting. I have never had such a poor experience. If you are planning on staying out past 1am then you will probably be OK. If you want to do anything other than that then do not stay here. There are other rooms in the hotel and I have no idea what they heard, but as the reviews aren’t that bad, I’m guessing it can’t heard in the other rooms and they ar
