Was not provided with an access code. When I managed to contact the property manager they claimed no personal information was forwarded to them, ie; phone number or email from Expedia. I had to enlist the help of a nearby business to contact them 3 hours after the check in time.
If Expedia doesn’t forward details why would you continue to use them as booking agents.
Property was close enough to train station and quite location, front door was often not secured from the street

I just needed a room for the night due to work in the area the following day. For the price, I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised. The room (small apartment with shared toilet) had everything you need (fridge microwave, shower) and probably,d again surprisingly, a very comfy memory foam mattress. All was clean and directly opposite shops and a very good Indian restaurant. Parking, although road side, was ample. Would stay again.

I want to complain in the strongest terms to hotels.com!! It is by far the worst place we have ever stayed and question your judgement by putting this 'hotel' on your site! We had to wait till 7pm to get our door code for the key, in sweltering conditions. The carpet and ceilings in the room were rancid! There were no tables or any furniture in the room at all to put things on! The wardrobe was broken so couldn't hang any clothes up, we asked for an iron to iron clothes that had to come straight out of our suitcases and a air- fan because the room was like a furnace, after asking staff for these things they said they would supply them but never did! The TV could not receive any signal at all so was useless. We were situated in our room right next to the front door and the constant slamming of the door morning, noon and night was a constant irritation!! I DEMAND SOME FORM OF COMPENSATION from hotels.com or will be taking the matter further!!

Good place for the price. It's unstaffed so you'll have to make a phone call to pay for your room and get the code for the self-service locks. Only facilities I found lacking was the fact that there wasn't a single mirror and I had to buy my own.

The room is not properly maintained. The microwave is extremity dirty at the top. It must not have been cleaned in a long time and the housekeeper refuses to change linens until after 4 night. I spent 5 nights and yet it didn’t get changed.
Outright terrible.

* Property cleanness is very poor. * Room is not up to the standard, there are many maintenance work to done. * Shower facility inside the room is not working. * This property is not safe to stay. This property is not recommended to anyone. Expedia should have a proper look before advertising on their website.

Terrible service
Took long to get check in code. Had to stay outside for awhile. Then the WiFi wasn’t working and it didn’t get fixed till I left.
Even the toilet was broken.
You’ll call they’ll take forever to answer and still won’t fix the problem.
No accountability. Nothing.

The check in process is a joke. I was supposed to get a text with a lock box code that didn’t arrive. It took ages for someone to answer a call and when they did they sent me the wrong code. Recommend using email instead of text as travellers like me are using esims because of high roaming data charges. The day after I checked in the same thing happened to another guest. Just terrible

Shocking experience
1st room was nearly unbearable to breed, the smell of tobacco was that strong and impregnated. Could at least breed on my 2nd room.
Mattress was very uncomfortable- felt sucked in by a sponge.
Room service were in during the day - left me a towel on top of the bed but never made the bed. First time is came back to a room where the bed was left untouched by room service.

As a woman alone this is not a safe space to stay in.
The place is in the middle of a rough council estate opposite 2 shops that have people in and out all the time, so with the
front door is open all the time even when I shut it someone then came in and left it open. Anyone can walk in to the house.
There are no caneras, a man knocked on my door after I was there 20 mins asking me to go for a drink snd did I need company, as he saw I came alone.
The shared toilet was between me and another man, in a little corridor with no one else, anything could have happened to me. The toilet was filthy and I was so desperate to use it, I had to clean it gagging and heaving.
I called company and asked for a refund so I could go somewhere else, although polite there was nothing they would do.
I stayed 30 mins and felt so unsafe I had to leave, due to £100 deposit being took out and no refund I had to borrow money to book somewhere else.
I am not normally scared so for me to say I felt unsafe then please believe me I was.
I have emailed the company but no response so customer service is terrible too.

Only book for one night.For ladies and family, only book if you can't find anything else and call the property for confirmation of your reservation. I didn't get the code for checking in , and other people have said they couldn't get connected with the staff but when l called,it was picked up by a lady who was polite, asked me a few questions and sent me the code in a few minutes.The room was fine, however it was smelly of pigeon poops and wasn't clean.l don't understand why leave that dirty. I had trouble sleeping. It was really inconvenient and unhygienic. Had everything you need in a property . The bed was super comfortable,the sheets were washed and cleaned. TV didn't worked,l didn't ask to fix it as l was staying alone. At nights it can be quite, but no one disturbs you, although had to lock my room all the time.Only one shower and toilet. As mostly the property is booked by men, the toilets were always dirty . There is one nearby shop , a fish and chips and an Indian restaurant, great for food and light beverages.
