My experience does not seem quite as bad as some of the other reviewers although I would not go back.

Dated at best and scabby at worst. A shower over the corner bath was low pressure and scalding to freezing. Mould around the bath seal. Cigarette burn on the bed cover. An overall stuffy smell in the rooms and corridors. In desparate need of updating and redecorating.

On the brighter side staff were very friendly and a good breakfast (despite the 15 minute wait with only 3 other people in the dining room.)

Limited tight parking in yard next to bar open to public and quite distant from the main hotel.

We arrived to find that they were having a town-wide disco evening. It was so loud all night - even when they turned off the disco because loud drunken patrons poured out of the streets, into the square and hung about all night. And we were on the 4th floor. The bed was so bouncy that it was impossible to sleep when my husband moved at all. The next day I asked to be moved to a different room with separate beds. The manager was very kind and helpful. We were sent to the more modern part of the hotel and it was infinitely better, but nothing to write home about.

Well, where do I start. I could go on for hours, but here goes.
The first room we were given smelled like a stale ashtray, not a great start especially if you are a non-smoker. Needless to say we asked for another room immediately, and the 2nd room seemed just about acceptable so we agreed to stay the night. On closer inspection there were lots of spiders, cobwebs and flies, but we cleared these oursevles. I am not quite sure what the cleaner had been doing, but it certainly wasn't the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in. I have never seen so many flies, they were all over the hotel. I didn't dare think what might have been sat on my food before I ate it.
We were trying to make the best of the weekend but we soon realised there was a disco and BBQ that evening which was going on until 1pm for anyone who wanted to come. By anyone I mean all walks of life, some of which you would not wish to socialise with. We went out for the evening and on our return at about 11.30pm we realised that our room was next door to a private apartment, who were also playing loud music until very late. Once everything quietened down well after 2pm and we calmed down we were able to get a few hours sleep. Had we not had a prior engagement the next day we would have checked out at 1pm and driven all the way back to the south coast. We were due to stay at the hotel for another night, but we managed to move to a very nice P. Travel Inn 20 miles away and promptly cancelled the 2nd night. We were not made aware of the disco when we booked or even before or when we arrived and when I asked the receptionist why we hadn't been told, she said the BBQ and disco were booked at short notice due to the nice weather. The hotel were not really interested in our comments, and I personally feel they are more interested in the non-residents using the bar and separate pub in the courtyard than their paying residents. They did however agree not to charge for the 2nd night. (I should think so too, I wasn't that happy about paying for the previous night, let alone a night I wasn't staying there) I am not sure what to say about the breakfast apart from it was pretty inedible.
In short, would I ever stay there again? Not a chance, even if it was free!
