No hot water six of the seven mornings. Room and bathroom were not very clean. They never had more than a surface cleaning. The wife was very uncomfortable. The management thought fixing the problem was to clean the shower head. I explained to the repairman, as a retired commercial building contractor, the problem was the guest ratio to water pressure... more

I stayed at the California Hotel with my mother and teenage children, it was cheap, and much better value than a room at a Travelodge or similar as it included breakfast. The room was basic but clean and comfortable enough for a few nights. My mother is in her late sixties, and she found it comfortable enough. more

Though the bedroom was ok double bed and a single bed tv and en suite bathroom which was freezing. The real downside was... more

We stayed here for one night for a works do that was arranged locally. Excellent location, right next to the Tube station. The rooms were very basic, the bathroom was very small and compact. I was staying with a close friend which was just as well, as you didn't really have much room to get ready. But hey - I... more
