Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We stayed in room 12a by the main road. We paid about 160 per night for 3 weeks. Positives: We were given an air fryer to use. Cleaning staff are friendly Convenient location Negatives: Carpet nails sticking in main walkways Dishwasher was broken No smoke alarm No ventilation for cooking Lack of security and location of the room makes room vulnerable to potential theft. The noise of the traffic and the neighbours. Virtually no noise cancelling Reception is not regularly staffed and not easy to contact quickly. Electrician who came to fix dishwasher in our room relied on us because they had no one at reception and don't pick up the phone. No hair dryer provided with room, until requested. Requested hair dryer was covered in gunk. Ironing board provided is unusable as it has no cover Shower head is guaranteed to poor water outside Room was missed for servicing on one day so we missed out on replacement towels. Price. We have stayed at cheaper places that were significantly better than this. Overall, would not stay here again unless we were looking for something short term and we were desparate. With a lot of small changes the room could be a pretty solid one. The worst aspects for us were the carpet nails in our feet, the lack of smoke alarm and the irregular staffing of reception.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Staff & service
Staff were not available at stated 2pm check-in time, 25 minute wait while they returned from lunch, then just handed the keys. No further information for room service, but eventually found a business card with Wi-Fi and password. Wi-Fi speed reasonable and capable of streaming to a laptop or tablet. Parking is OK. Room was functional with microwave and enough dinnerware and cutlery for 2-3 people, iron and ironing board The fridge was too cold and froze fruit, this could spoil medications, for e.g if you were diabetic and needed to store insulin. A positive was the bathroom was recently renovated and shower was nice and clean. Comfy lounge and large table and chairs

We had a lovely tidy big room with separate bedroom. It warm and quiet. Had beds for 5 but only 2 chairs at the table and a 2 seater sofa. Would havd needed more plates if there'd bern more of us. A good place to stay with the restaurant and phoenix entertainment centre next door. Would stay again.
