Jane S. Friends - 11/3/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Booked in for 3 days. first day in a small room with single beds tightly fitted in so I was scared I would roll off & cause an abrasion to the skin on my compromised shins. I have a long hx of venous leg ulceration as I have hx of DVTs to both legs. I have mental challenges in that I have Complex PTSD & AuDHD. Swapping rooms was very distressing and took practically the whole day. I got someone from my group to help when I got so distressed that I had a meltdown. I was exhausted and needed to lie down so I lay down on the floor in the reception area. I think the feather that broke the camel's back was when I was told I was not allowed to get access to my bags to put something in them and take out a warmer jacket.

Dark lighting throughout the hotel room, poor use of heating, no heating system installed in the room. Had to beg the stay for a portable radiator. I would never recommend this hotel as it lacked the basic standards of a hotel.
