The Television remote control didn’t work properly. Grumpy staff. Filthy shared bathroom. Terrible room. Other guests having conversations in the corridor. Toilet facilities were very basic, and shabby. Bed was very hard. Nothing, all good. Showers were not great. Functional but a bit too basic for a hotel. Difficult to find light in the room. The signposts on the roundabouts to the ferry. Tired. Dirty, poor toilet/shower facilities. Very dated and needs major refurbishment. It was a bit noisy at times but then people are checking in late. It is basic (small rooms, only a basin in the room and no storage) but then look at the price. It looks a bit like a prison, inside and out, and there are no towels unless you buy one from the reception. You have to walk past the reception to get to the toilets and shared shower. Out of town. Roasting hot with no aircon and worn out. No towels provided. No bar. Accommodation was spartan and services limited. Noisy. Shared bathroom, no towels included, second bed not made up, very basic facilities, basic breakfast too. The facilities were very run down, needs redecorating and new bathrooms. We had reserved two rooms, advertised as ‘non-smoking’. The first room we went into smelled strongly of smoke and the bed cover was stained. We then went into the second room, which also smelled strongly of smoke. We left. The staff offered us alternative rooms but we had by then lost confidence in the hotel. We contacted the property to request a refund but they did not answer. Bedrooms are inaccessible to wheelchairs despite them confirming differently. Promised rooms had been mis-allocated elsewhere. Beds were beyond damp. We had to sleep on top of the covers. We left after 4.5 hours. Disappointed that only the name had changed from F1. No noticeable upgrade to facilities. Smells of tobacco. The lack of toilet in or even near the room, a serious drawback! Not clean. Don’t go with small children. People make noise during the night and early hours of morning. Floor was dirty. Smokey entrance. Radiator hanging off the wall in 1 room. Ladder up to top bunk was unsecured. The room was tiny and very very hot. The room was awful, the bed was uncomfortable, the light did not work, and there were no towels or other facilities in the room. The bathrooms were smelly, dirty and cramped. These cheap chain hotels are not cheap anymore. The door opens into your bed. You could barely open the door enough to get your luggage in the room. The room was dated and in poor condition. The bedding did not look or feel clean. We both woke up with rashes on our skin in the morning. The communal facilities are horrendous. They absolutely stank and again did not look or feel clean. The bed wasn't very comfortable but OK at this price point. Shower facilities were worse than public swimming pools. Old. Tired and not very hot. Rooms very warm and not much thru air. No bedside facilities. Table in other corner of room. Plugs were part of the TV console so high up and support for adapters. The very worse thing was the noise of the other guests way after midnight. Bed clothes were clean but very well used. Unclean room and toilets. Noisy people. Attention needed to be paid to dusting. Especially under the sink and on the notices at the back of the door. The latter is disappointing as you expect guests to read these and therefore leaves a bad impression. The room smelled of cold tobacco, I guess somebody smoked with window open. It's dated and not cheerful. It's very basic and doesn't feel clean. I don't blame the staff, it's got to be renewed and updated. Shared toilet light off when inside, weird.

February is the low season, and May is the high season.
