Great night stay at Carlton Hotel

Staff on reception were friendly and helpful and check-in was quick and easy. My room contained everything I required during my stay.
Marc, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Room smelt of sewerage. Hallways smelt of weed! Beds very uncomfortable and not even as the floor wasn’t even. Walls paper thin could hear next door snoring as if they were y next to me. Don't bother with breakfast, it's toast, ham and cheese ! Even a reduced rate its not great.
Francesca, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

When you get inside the hotel interior is okay. We ask for a ground room since we got kids and NO LIFT he said it was full. so he gave us the third floor. The room smell mouldy and when I woke up Ive got bitten by bed bugs. The bed is awful and it wasn’t even clean. the room heating is not working.
