Whites Hotel

Ok for a 1 night stay. Staff seemed friendly enough. Room whilst generally clean and bed comfortable was in need of a makeover. There were dusty areas in the corners of the carpet and the shower cubical leaked, as there was no where to hang towel whilst in shower put on floor outside and it got soaking wet. Guess you get what you pay for. Had to pay a £50 security deposit whilst this was made clear when booking I have never been asked to do this before and I have stayed in many many hotels. Also very inflexible with parking. Wanted to pop and get coffee in the. Morning but was told car had to be removed by 11 else I would get a parking fine. Couldn’t even extend for an hour. Close to city centre.

If I had really understood what the hotel was like I would have chosen somewhere else. I was in the area overnight to visit my son at university and it was not suitable for me at all. The hotel is above a sports bar. The restaurant is located in the bar so it's not a great place in the afternoon or evening, especially for a female travelling alone. The room was so small that there was no door on the bathroom in my bedroom, so I got a great view of the toilet from my bed. The wallpaper above the bed was peeling. The walls were extremely thin. It wasn't an experience I want to repeat. The night staff were very helpful and friendly, though, and the room was clean.
