Did not get off to the best start, my booking confirmation stated that I had booked the Dayan Hotel, However the photo on my booking confirmation was the front of house of "The Hawkes Hotel" a few doors down, which is where I initially arrived.
Upon arrival at The Dayan, the ash trays out side at the front of house were over flowing, I passed this off as it being busy the night prior (being a Friday). A gentleman welcomed me in, knew very little English and said that someone will be with me shortly. Someone else then checked me in and showed me to the car parking area, I was very dubious about parking there as he had pointed to a space that was right underneath a "clamping area" and "do not park here" sign.
We stayed in the (after reading other reviews famous) room 9, where, well how do I put it, politely, awful, how it had passed trading standards is beyond me.
The shower room:
* The grouting had not been finished to even a basic standard and had bits of grout/silicone sticking out
* The door did not close properly when in the shower
* The wall paper was hanging off the walls which was masking Damp patches
* The skirting board was coming away from the walls, leaving cracks between them and the wall
* The cleanliness was not even a basic standard, dark dust on top of the splash-back tiles at sink
* When the door is closed there is NO room to move around
The main room
* The bed was extremely lumpy
* Lock did not work properly
* I do not have enough characters to continue!
