We chose this hotel for its good location, close to mountain hike trails.
The car park was far too small for the size of the hotel – we didn't dare drive during our stay, as we likely wouldn't have had a parking spot to return to. And cars were crammed so tightly in there that it was a challenge to exit when we left.
The exterior looked run-down, and the reception area was dated.
The reception staff were chatting and ignored us for an unusually long moment when we went to the desk.
These things didn't really bother us, but then we entered the room.
There were so, so many immediately noticeable issues:
• There was a large damp patch on the carpet, and the room smelled of damp, rotting carpet
• One of the two bedroom windows had so much condensation that we could barely see out of it
• Stains were all over the walls
• The two pillows (one each) on the bed were very thin
• The mattress sheet was too small for the mattress, so we ended up waking up on bare mattress
• The cotton bedding was extremely worn out and bobbly
• The curtains didn't have hooks on the outer corners, so light poured in from the sides
• The wardrobe door was broken
• It was very warm, so we wanted to open the windows, but they were on a very short latch. Yet the bathroom window could open fully, and someone could easily fall out of it, as the ledge is below waist height (sadly, leaving this one open didn't help cool the bedroom)
• The towels were extremely ragged and frayed
• The toilet flush was broken and difficult to operate. And quite gross
• There was no drain guard in the sink or the shower, so small things could get lost in there
• The shower drain was blocked so our feet became submerged in a gross puddle while showering
• An electrical outlet plate was held to the wall (barely) with sellotape
• I wondered why the towel radiator wobbled so much when I used it. It turned out it was balanced precariously on the wall fittings, and wasn't attached in any way. It came straight off the wall unexpectedly in my hand. I'm glad I somehow managed to avoid dropping it and smashing the floor tiles
I have stayed in many cheaper hotels than this, and I have never encountered such all-encompasing shoddiness.
I was genuinely shocked and appalled, and I've never been so certain that a place deserves a one star review.
