Right from the start we were doubtful - must have read the wrong reviews when we booked. (One i/n site gives terrific reviews, they must have the wrong place). Asked to look at room, seemed just ok, and as it was late in afternoon and bad weather, we decided to stay one night and cancel the other 2 we had booked. Right from the time we walked in it was all too much trouble for the receptionist, who whenever we approached her was talking to someone else or chatting across to people in the lounge opposite. We weren't the only ones not impressed by her. She couldn't have cared less and rude! In fact, she never did cancel the other two nights as requested and we ended up getting charged for them on our credit card. Not impressed with that.
One site advertises free highspeed internet in rooms. There wasn't. Also, that the place was renovated in 2005. Maybe the lobby, certainly nowhere else we looked. The sheets appeared clean but the bedspread wasn't, towels grey and barely covered, stains on bathroom wall that looked like blood but may have been hairdye, and a very polite man came in to check the ceiling wasn't leaking due to the rain! (we were on the top floor) You could see where it had leaked previously - leaked, looked more like flooded, the whole ceiling was badly stained! He got us a plate for the microwave as there wasn't one in it (receptionist told us there was! How would she know?) and was generally a pleasant person. Breakfast room made us wonder and there certainly were no waffles as others have advised. Food pretty sparse, have had much better in other budget places, fruit bruised and get out by 9am as by about 8.45am staff were glaring and had started to clean around the few people in there.
Didn't see any drug deals etc but only because we went to our room and stayed there. The guy on the desk the next morning was friendly and pleasant, but other staff were surly.
All in all, not a good place and we certainly will never return and will only recommend it as a place to stay away from.
