The stay was horrible. First the reservation was not found. Secondly, I got a breakfast buffet rate, but the hotel refused to offer breakfast. The toilet did not flush. The room was horrible. The staff wasn't very helpful.

The hotel was very basic but the staff were friendly and helpful. ##### Chris ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 12 Jan 2015 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not recommended Not a nice hotel at all, very noisy room with a hard bed. ##### Verified traveller ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 26 Jan 2013 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### High price, poor quality Room and bathroom were dirty and shabby. Dinner (room service) was awful. While close to the airport, the surrounding area where hotel located was very unattractive. A highly overpriced hotel. The saving grace was the friendly receptionist and decent breakfast. ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cottages Blackburn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackburn-Cottages.d4573-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [5 Star Hotels in Chepstow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Chepstow-Hotels.s50-0-d5618.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [St Michaels Road - Explore Bournemouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-St-Michaels-Road.h34179761.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartments Halifax](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Halifax-Apartments.d177946-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Eurostars Laietana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Eurostars-Via-Laietana.h560399.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Angel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Angel-London-Hotels.0-n6236813-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Nethy Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nethy-Bridge-Hotels.d182805.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Pefkos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pefkos-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d6138863-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Midyat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Midyat-Hotels.d6294082.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near M&Ds Theme Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/MDs-Theme-Park-Hotels.0-l6183241-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Gateway Arch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gateway-Arch-Hotels.0-l502855-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Anahata Villas & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ubud-Hotels-Anahata-Villas-Spa-Resort.h8694594.Hotel-Information) > > [TOLIP North Coast Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Al-Hammam-Hotels-TOLIP-North-Coast-Hotel.h33635414.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Connecting Rooms in Greek Islands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Greek-Islands-Hotels-Hotel-With-Connecting-Rooms.0-0-d6271742-thotelwithconnectingrooms.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Appartement Meublé VIP Douala Bonapriso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Douala-Hotels-Appartement-Meuble-VIP-Douala-Bonapriso.h45390589.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in South Shields](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Shields-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d5691-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Lisbon (LIS) to Konavle (DBV)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lis/dbv/lisbon-to-dubrovnik) > > [Flights from Aswan (ASW) to Hounslow (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/asw/lhr/aswan-to-london) > > [Flights from Madrid (MAD) to Luque (ASU)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/mad/asu/madrid-to-asuncion) > > [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Maia (OPO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/opo/london-to-porto) > > [Flights from London (LON-All Airports) to Perugia San Francesco d'Assisi – Umbria Intl.
