Although it says its a Hotel, I get a feeling it might also be an HMO. Couldnt get in the entry door the first time as there was a couple having a cigarette on the steps ,so went to the reception were I was met by a gentleman whose english wasn't great, and told to wait for his colleague. A man arrived wearing an red ovo t-shirt, I explained about the automatic check in i was given by text and he said just go ahead. I raised my concern about being able to get in that way but he said yeh , yeh just go! The couple had gone from the steps so I went up to the outside door which was meant to locked , it wasnt so I walked straight through the door.When going to my room, the was a strong smell of cooking and two rooms I passed opened their doors to look out at me
When I entry my room (which was the only one with a security lock on it) I was greeting with a cracked window, a carpet that badly needs an upgrade and a dresser that could do with the same! . The bathroom itself was clean but the ceiling and fan were filthy and the shower needs a good scrub. Yes the room was only £55 so you could argue you get what you pay for but .... !
I turned around and left and booked into the Douglas Hotel which was 100% better. Lost £55 and payed £80 for a proper hotel room in a proper hotel.Lesson learnt !
