The Hotel need urgent TLC
We stayed in this hotel for 2 night's, I would not write negative reviews, because the owners will respond, "you payed a cheap price for the room". But I am sure I am entitled to my opinions, The hotel is definitely in need of urgent TLC, when we arrived at the hotel, the building looks a run down, such a shame, it's look like a very nice art deco building, The Cook restaurant is closed , the Bar as I saw on the Hotel. Com gallery wasn't there, the Pool Table is not there, the grand stairs carpet is showing wear and tear, and the room, the bed and line linen are okay, there was few spiders in the bathroom, but that's fine by me, the paint on the walls and by the window is peeling, there's a few stains on the carpet here and there, oh there was some sharp carpet nail by the bathroom door, I wasn't wear my sandal and I stood on it, luckily it didn't hurt to much. Oh this property is right by the around about, and railway, the train can be very noisy, but that's okay for me. Oh and the town, not much to see really, lucky there are few shops about.

Very reasonable cost for a comfortable stay, but may not suit others used to luxury accommodation. Would be great to see the hotel restored to former glory.

星一つもつけたくないです。 バスルームの扉は取っ手が取れていて開け閉めできません。シャワーに電気がなくて暗闇でシャワーを浴びることになります。シャワーヘッドもテープで修理してあって、水が噴水のように出ます。 窓は閉められないので開けたままです。虫が入ってくるし、夜はとても寒いし、横に高速道路と鉄道が走っているのでとてもうるさいです。 幸い、タオル類と枕カバー、掛けるシーツ？は綺麗です。毛布には穴が空いていました。マットレスは板のように薄いです。 壁も薄く、他の宿泊客の声が丸聞こえです。 500年前のホテルの廃墟のようでした。心細く不安になりましたが、トイレットペーパーとウェルカムドリンクは、よく見るものなので安心しました。しかし、ウェルカムドリンクのボードは汚く、ティーバッグなどは埃をかぶっていたので手がつけられませんでした。 普段はチェックアウトぎりぎりまで滞在しますが、早く出ていきたくて仕方なかったです。 翌朝気づきましたが、ベッド横に自殺防止の電話番号の張り紙がありました。 これで$70はあまりにも高すぎます。たとえお金をもらっても泊まりたくないほどです。 二度と泊まらないし、誰にもおすすめできないです。
