Negative Reviews
negative:
Rooms are dirty and need a good clean
There have been many negative reviews of the hotel mentioning the dirty rooms with stains on the carpets, furniture and walls. The bed linen was also stained with some guests finding hair in beds and bathrooms hadn't been cleaned thoroughly with soap residue in and around sinks.
negative:
Smell of smoke throughout the hotel
Other guests smoke just outside the lobby and not far enough away from the door which means the smell of smoke enters the hotel and then spreads throughout which is quite unpleasant.
negative:
Food is not replenished at breakfast time
Although the choice of food available is vast at the start of breakfast many have reported that it isn't replenished when it runs out so unless you get down early you may miss out.
