All personnel seems very pleasant. In reality, they need to be! Guests here have to tolerate quite a lot of discomfort and obstacles. It seems that the hotel is undergoing a very long-term renovation program – but with little light at the end of that tunnel. They do invite you to inspect the room before committing ...so early escape is an option.
The bed is OK; soft and very comfortable. The air con – one of those window units – does actually work.
It’s a really good setting and handy for many local attractions. Adventureland, for examples, is only a 10-minute drive away.
There are holes in the ceiling and the bedroom window is ominously boarded up. More worrying is the fact that the board could be removed quite easily and by someone other than you! Cleanliness is a real issue and furniture, including that in the bathroom, is well past its sell-by date. Outside is a haven for rubbish, much of which seems to be long established – obviously, they’ve decided to give up on cleaning outside. There’s very little cleaning activity inside either. You can’t help feeling distinctly uneasy about the whole place.
There are bugs climbing up the room wall, presumably, they are trying to get out! Plumbing is diabolical and efforts to flush the toilet result in the contents flooding back up.
The pool, a focal point for many guests, seems to be very long-term closed. Neither is there a refrigerator in the room, although you can ask for one.
