Ok for the price. Convenient for my purpose.
Better than anticipated but obviously a work in progress. No restaurant or bar.

Poor
Stank or mould/damp. Place is literally a building site. Had to unplug the tv to use the kettle!
Bathroom was decent.
Hopefully better when building is finished.

Not again unless brought up to a decent standard.
Hotel seemed to have only just been taken over from a closed down establishment. They had no services available and the hotel smelled musty as though vacant for a very long period. Not Very Nice!

Never again
Very low pressure in the shower so the water practically trickled out. The bed & pillows were uncomfortable. At 2am I packed my bag & went to sleep in my car

the Staff was very friendly, available and went above and beyond their duty to aid a senior couple, especially Mr. Iqbal. if we ever go back to UK, we would not hesitate to stay there again.

For the price ..£78 and an extra £25 for early check in is a joke ...the quality was not good and the whole place needs refurbishment...2 tea bags and 2 tiny towels ...a lick of paint would cost nothing

The hotel is run down and the rooms are very basic and need modernising. A lot of the rooms are not used.

Ok to get your head down.
No on site facilities no bar or restaurant no vending machines
Only 1 bath towel for a double room
Room was clean but dated as was the surroundings.. like a building site.
No key drop off or anyone on reception when leaving.
Tea making facilities very basic and not enough for 2 people.

Good, but room for improvement
Staff friendly enough. Room was clean & tidy & bathroom was really nice. Hotel is having maintenance with building works outside. Room had recently been painted & had a very strong smell. Understand maintenance is required, but drilling at 8am on any day, especially a Sunday was unacceptable, also without any notice.

Room was ok with a comfy bed and decent en-suite. Decor was not good and everything was very basic. As renovation work is under way it was a bit of a strange environment. Staff on reception were pleasant and helpful but there were not many people around. No restaurant facilities at present.

I do not reccommend staying here
No bar or restaurant. Very dated. No air-con, so had to keep the windows open and could hear constant traffic from the A12. Hotel was a building site. Some rooms have been refurbished but to a very low quality and unfinished. I have stayed in better hotels for less money than I paid for this one. Didn't feel safe. Anyone could walk on-site and around the hotel. No locks on corridors walkways or stairwells. No security.

Cold room - 1 wall mounted electric heater that looked like it would fail any electrical safety inspection (half of the knobs missing).
Shower in the morning had no temperature control, it was so hot you couldn't stand it under and nothing made it cooler. Evidently no cold feed to the shower and boiler temp set too hot.
It['s cheap but it's rough.
