The first thing that I noticed was checking in. The breakfast had been sold for £15 on line which I had decided to skip for that cost but there is a board up behind the reception desk offering breakfast for £7. If I had already paid for breakfast I would not have been impressed with this price drop.
As I drew the curtains before I went to shower I found that two nets were hanging from the rail and the windows were so filthy you could barely see out. Someone had also written "I woz ere August 2014" in pencil which no one had thought to wipe off in 3 months.
I then went to get a shower and was rather horrified with the state of the bathroom. Everything was mouldy, dirty, rusty or generally falling apart. More water was coming from the join of the shower head than through the shower itself.
As I went back into the bedroom I looked around and realised how the whole room was in a bad state. Wood was chipped, the lampshades over the bed weren't on properly, it was filthy. When I went to get into bed I thought the duvet had been put on the wrong way around but it was actually that the seam had come undone.
Before I went to bed I called for an extra pillow which I was told someone would bring up. This never materialised.
I have to say this is not a hotel I would recommend to visitors to the area unless a lot of work is done to it. When I told friends I had stayed in the hotel they sent their commiserations without even asking how bad it was. This is a hotel with a bad reputation and I can fully understand why.
Below are a few more pictures to demonstrate further the state of the room, what I don't have is a picture of the pornographic drawing in the hall. I don't have a problem with nudes but a detailed drawing from foot end is not what I expect to see in a public area.
