The
"Daisy
Hovel"
would
be
far
better
description
of
this
establishment,
rather
than
a
"hotel",
which
would
surely
great
offence
to
those
establishments
genuinely
befitting
of
this.
Greeted
by
an
amateurish
and
passive-aggressive
sign
on
the
door
advising
that
no
late
check-ins
would
be
accepted.
Fortunately
we
made
our
arrival
well
in
advance
of
the
cut-off,
however,
unsuspecting
guests
may
fall
foul
of
this.
The
bed
sheet
fitted
80%
of
the
mattress
and
there
was
a
large
dent
on
one
side
of
the
bed,
the
other
side
facing
the
wall
and
window
overlooking
the
road
(which
had
a
large
crack).
It
was
clear
that
DIY
had
been
undertaken,
due
to
the
number
of
wooden
supports
that
had
been
nailed
to
the
frame
of
the
bed.
The
proprietors
would
be
better
advised
to
invest
in
a
new
bed.
Quite
frankly
sleeping
in
a
laundrette
or
car
wash
would
offer
a
more
peaceful
nights
sleep.
Sound-proofing
proved
to
be
an
issue,
both
from
external
noise
emanating
from
the
railway,
road
and
refuse
collection
and
noise
within
the
building,
by
the
way
of
particularly
amorous
and
rampant
neighbours.
Whilst
the
latter
is
not
the
fault
of
the
proprietors
(and
I
do
hope
the
neighbours
had
a
pleasurable
evening,
and
were
not
sharing
with
bed
bugs)
I
would
expect
some
form
of
sound-proofing
in
such
an
establishment.
The
room
was
filthy,
with
empty
crisp
packets
and
wine
bottles
under
the
bed
and
scuff
marks
were
abundant
on
the
walls.
In
addition
the
lack
of
amenities
was
shambolic.
Whilst
I
would
not
expect
a
selection
of
miniatures
in
this
establishment,
I
would
at
least
expect
hand
sanitiser
and
toilet
roll
to
be
provided.
In
Covid
Times,
this
is
simply
unacceptable.
The
tea/coffee
selection
was
presented
in
an
ice-cream
box
which
was
particularly
underwhelming.
The
positioning
of
the
small
television
in
comparison
to
the
bed
made
little
sense,
unless
the
room
was
regularly
frequented
by
Giraffe's
with
longer
necks
than
the
average
person.
Whilst
I
did
not
have
any
direct
interactions
with
the
staff,
it
is
safe
to
say
that
communication
was
an
issue
and
they
appeared
pre-occupied
with
companions
of
their
own.
A
planned
two
nights
stay
very
quickly
became
one!
Whilst
the
price
is
low,
the
quality
and
lack
of
cleanliness
is
unacceptable
compared
to
other
venues.
