I was disappointed with my return visit to this hotel. My room was clean and comfortable but the noise of the extractor fans in adjacent rooms were noisy and woke me early this morning. Breakfast was slow and made me run late for work that I was travelling for. Lovely location and friendly staff.

Very disappointed breakfast & cold room.

Could not get the heating to work, so I was cold the whole night. The toilet stunk od sewage. Breakfast was included in my booking, but it was non existent. Extremelly basic breakfast. They had bread, but nothing to put on the bread (only butter & jam). No ham, no cheese, nothing at all. There was no foid at all. No eggs, bacon, sausages, baked beans, nothing at all. They had some plain croissants & pain aux chocolat. Drinks only 2 juices, tea & coffee. They had all the ingredients I mentioned above, but guess what ?! You have to pay to actually have the breakfast, so all the ingredients I mentioned above that are supposed to be part of a hotel breakfast (at least in the UK), were payable. What's the point of "Breakfast included in the booking", when aI still have to pay for the breakfast again when I got to the breakfast room ?! Well, I decided I wouldn't pay for anything else, so I just ate whatever was available as part of the "FREE" breakfast. This room cost me around £150 GBP for 1 night. I just felt ripped off to be honest. So, I decided to check out and go to the airport to eat some food there. Nice, comfortable hotel with friendly staff, but I personally wouldn't recommend.

Paying nearly £130 night the least we expected was a decent breakfast, a bedside light on both sides of the bed and cleaning of the room every day. Instead we had to ask for a light , cleaning was done 3 days a week only and breakfast was help yourself to the cheapest bread still in plastic wrapping or cereal in their boxes. Our room had a bright street light immediately outside so it was impossible to sleep even with buying a sleep mask. We asked to change rooms but never heard back. Travelodges have had better and while we appreciate that island life has difficulties this was a real rip off.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Highly disappointed given the price and previous reviews. The room was small, very hot and smelt awful. Such a bad smell in fact, we paid to move to another hotel, despite having pre-paid for this one. The bathroom was superficially clean but there was black mould growing on the sealant around the bath, the shower head was brown/scaly, the cold water was hot and the tap leaked. There was a noise that sounded like a washing machine going most of the time, also vibrating the floor. The one member of staff tried to do many tasks but too much for one person so people were waiting at breakfast or to check out etc. There are no cleaning services on a weekend so no other rooms available to move to. We travel a lot and sadly it is the worst hotel we’ve stayed in for many years.
