Room 5 is photo’s great - real thing needs work
A real shame as the place should be good however without a toilet door, lights that automatically turn on and light up the room in the middle of the night for 20 mins it really does need some work. Maintenance simply has not been maintained…

Reasonable, some key issues
Overall, not the best nor the worst I've ever stayed in. Reasonable for price. I had no issues with checking in, but encountered many guests who did - I was WhatsApped the codes and details although others apparently were not, if the same had happened to me I'd be reviewing this with fewer stars. Fairly comfy bed, not great pillows but workable. Bath was nice once I worked out the plug. Shower good but really do take heed with reviewers saying it floods - I had about 5 mins in there and it only just stopped flooding into the bedroom. Needs sorting out for sure. Nice room otherwise, large, window locks seem to have been fixed so all good. Did repeatedly have people at my door, however not threateningly - they had purely not been told which room was there's so were stuck trying every one.

Never again!
Stayed in the basement room the photos on hotels.com had lovely bay windows. Not mine! Only 2 towels for 2 people, Bathroom floods and stays flooded all night with the water settling in around the toilet and because it’s a stone floor the water is freezing. Only one dim light above the mirror so it’s not great if you can’t see well! The room is very dark with only 2 bulbs working over the bed. No main overhead lights worked. The WiFi didn’t work. A chap come to sort it but he couldn’t and the response was there is nothing I can do!

I’ll give it another chance as I’ve stayed before
I have stayed in this place before and had a great time. This time I decided to book the deluxe room as my works budget managed to stretch to it. I was really looking forward to relaxing after a long day at work combined with a long drive down to Brighton. I got there and there were workmen drilling and sawing. I decided to have a shower and head out until the workmen would finish. I went to go out of the shower to grab something and because I was obviously wet I bought water out with me. This subsequently caused the entire bathroom to puddle with water and it was still not gone before I left. So I had to wear shoes every time I needed the toilet.

Small room, but had all we needed in living a kettle with tea and coffee for the morning! Reasonably clean. Easy check in. We stayed on a super hot night and there was a fan in the room to try and help cool us down! Slightly out of the way from the hustle and bustle of the centre of town so was reasonably quiet because of this. Comfy. I’d stay here again!

It was very obvious that the 'cleaner' only changed the bedding and did nothing else. The room design must have been lovely once but sadly it was so filthy we couldn't even put our bags on the floor. It was disgusting. Scumline around the bath, with hair and dirt from previous use. The floor had not been vacummed or mopped at all so there were bits, hair and dirty footprints in room and over the floor tiles around the bath. The floor was sticky with lighter areas of previous liquid spills. Dirty smears around switches and walls; urine around the toilet behind seat had dried and smelt disgusting. Black scum in shower. Foul smell in bedroom. The windows looked out onto a courtyard of litter including cans and cigarette butts. The headboard had several, smeared hand prints. All of this unhygenic and disgusting filth could have been removed by a proper cleaner, there is no excuse for this unacceptable standard. On top of this the internet did not work even after inputting the password given, which was accepted, there was no signal.

Cheap, some issues to fix.
Positives: 1. Price was cheap. 2. Check in was easy. 3. Bed was comfortable. Negatives: 1. Shower tray does not drain quickly enough, meaning water soon floods the bathroom. I used a towel to stop water flooding the bedroom. This is unsafe. 2. Light above bed does not work. 3. Guttering outside window leaks and causes drips onto window ledge. This means water splashes into room and soaks the curtain when the window is open.

Vile, dirty, mouldy DO NOT STAY HERE
The most vile dirty hotel I have ever stayed in. Dirty dirty dirty. This is NOT a 4 star hotel. Unless you like, toe nails all over your floor, dirty used q tips and mess and dirt on the floors, a black mouldy shower, no tv remote to use the tv, broken blinds, hair around the bathroom and sink, or just living in filth, then this is the place for you. Vile hotel. Poor customer service. They did nothing when we complained accept say sorry, the cleaners have gone home, just try and enjoy your night. I’m not a Karen and this hotel made me utter the words., can I speak to the manager. Vile vile dirty gross room. The pictures I took don’t even come close to showing the filth of this room. It has not been cleaned in god knows how long. To the hotel… your cleaners are ripping you off! Vile vile vile! Zero hanging space. No draws, not that you would want to use them anyway. No hair dryer, no tv remote so the tv is usless. Paper thin walls and can hear everything. The “garden” is just a pitt of cigarette butts. One towel each, no flannel or hand towels. This is NOT 4 stars. I would give it a 1 star. I’ve seen cleaner public toilets than I have this room. “Site manager” came and saw the room and said he would support a refund, but hotel refused. Despite sending all the pictures and evidence.

Horrendous experience
Room was filthy, clearly had not been cleaned properly. Room also smelt badly of smoke making it unbearable to be in the room. Companied to the staff on arrival to the room, they did nothing. Awful service.

What is a nice room is completely lost by some big issues for this location. Chief is the noise, it is impossible not to make noise heading up the stairs, so if anyone comes back during the night they will wake you up. The walls and ceiling seem thinner than a normal hotel room. The wifi in the room wasn't working and despite 3 calls to the customer service team, nothing was done about it. The lack of staff on the property and check-in really creates a unwelcoming vibe. Positives are the shower was very good, but the bathroom area has an automatic light, not what you want when you're woken up a 3am by the noise and go to the toilet. The room is a good size and the bed was nice and comfy. It's a shame what is a nice room gets lost by so many other issues

Room was dirty, and bathroom was disgusting. Including hairs on the mirror, around shower and the bin lid was vile. Including used toiletry bottle and empty toilet rolls from previous guest. And the viewing window from bed directly to the toilet seat really was comical. Did not have high expectations due to price but basic cleanliness would have been appreciated. Location was great though.
