Okay so for 30 quid you don't expect The Ritz but you do expect a clean room to sleep in for the night.But that wasn't the case when me and my fiance went there for one night on 11/6/07.We were only staying for one night as I had won tickets to a gig in London,and as I'm from Essex(I live in Wales) I thought it would be appropriate to spend the night there.

The room comprises of a TV which would'nt go over a certain volume so was hard to hear, a plastic chair and small desk, a sink with leaky pipes and water stained carpet underneath.There is also a double bed and a single bunk bed.

With only one toilet to 6 rooms,it was a terrible mess with alot of 'stains' in the bowl.It was also very claustrophobic and plastic within the toilet area.

The walls in our room had tea and other dirty marks all over the place.We had dirty towels and to top it all off,the next morning I lifted the mattress on the single bunk bed to find a white pair of Calvin Klein boxers with a nice thick brown stain in! In the end I went to Tescos and bought my own towels and flannel.

Needless to say we complained and got our money back.Next time I'm going to go to the Travel Lodge a few miles down the road.Its 20 quid more but well worth it.
