Dirty.... tiles broken. Tap almost off. We didn't shower there... first time I haven't used a shower. Perhaps the worst place I have ever stayed. One flat pillow each. Stairs on landing... wood was rotting.

This hotel is filthy. Where do l begin? I think Wotif should have a look at the photos l have taken. Absolutely disgusting. Unsafe and unhygienic. I slept on the floor with my own pillow, wouldn’t even touch the shower or bed. An absolute nightmare.

Do not stay at this hotel. Many issues needing fixing. No key to the room and would not change to another room, bathroom had broken floor tiles in shower, tap was hard to use and faulty, shower rail was loose, poor lighting, smoke detector had no batteries and was hanging open, fridge leaking and knob broken, scrim curtain was shredded and blind slashed. It looks like it has been this way for a long time.
