Absolutely disgusting! Dirty bedding, shower or toilet have never seen bleach or any cleaning products in its life.rubbish in bin's mark's from some sort of beverage on tops of table and bedside tables, basically the room hadn't been cleaned,no towels nothing,we had drove 5 hours and was absolutely knackered. After 2 visit's to the front desk and offering to change the bedding myself I didn't want to visit a 3rd time.the first visit was for one of our cups having fag ash in it, apparently the lad behind the counter said it had been cleaned 3 times! At that point I didn't bother as it would be more lies.the place looks like it's for people living in it and we got some persons room who was away for the night,as it smelt like stale sweat and after-shave.avoid at all cost..if you like to be cold and don't mind filth go ahead.even though it wasn't overly expensive I'd rather pay more for the cleanliness and hygiene..

Cheap and feels like it- but great location, good parking, and does the basics right. Shower Hot Water did work but only after being left on for about 5 minutes Room was clean and had what you'd need in it. Staff friendly. Fine for a night when on a business trip

Shower head held together with electrical tape. Mould in bathroom ceiling. Shower door broken. Breakfast area carpet stained and in need of a clean. Room smelled damp. Breakfast was toast, cereal or packaged buns. Cutlery was lacking and minimal. Glad to leave here, would not recommend as a nice place to stay. Maybe renovations are happening but our room was not up to standard.

I've worked up and down Britain for eight years now and this is the worst place I've stayed in. Please avoid. TV doesn't work, shower doesn't work, (had a wash in the sink) £84. They're is a good pub near the station called the Mallard though. Nice pizzas.

I’ve read many bad reviews saying it’s the worst hotel they’ve ever been in. I feel like if you pay half the normal price for an hotel you can expect half the quality. I’ve paid 37 pounds per person per night WITH breakfast, insanely cheap. But with that the quality went down aswell, many little errors for example a kettle you cant fill up because the sink is too shallow, curtains that don’t work, no hangers, some smell, rooms don’t get cleaned every day etc. But, it is clean, and you get a reasonable breakfast, with a good shower and a great bed.

A new manager before Christmas had made major improvements all round but he left after 8 days due to exhaustion, lack of support and being bullied by the often inebriated manager of the sister hotel, Waverley Inn Lodge. He told me there are various ongoing issues & improprieties, including theft by a senior manager who has victimised a long term guest and has been reported to police. Unfortunately it's now back to old ways; and they're not good. Unmanned reception. Staff arguing with a long term guest in open forum. This guest interfering in other guests' business. Room ensuites thick with mold. Curtains hanging off rails. Poor standard of housekeeping. Front door open all night is very disconcerting. Continental breakfast is diabolical. Stale, frozen 10p loaves of bread, old pancakes, frozen croissants, butter portions not refrigerated. I could go on. Milk out of date, coffee luke warm. Staffing levels are appalling. The manager of Waverley Lodge oversees operations. He is thoroughly unpleasant & unprofessional and has no idea how to treat guests or his staff. All this is evident to guests like me. It's like being in a slightly sinister soap. Wicked Waverley! This place is relatively cheap but it's a Hammer House of Horrors that's best avoided. Pay a little more and go to The National Hotel opposite.

An ant infested, filthy, dilapidated dump! The stuff of nightmares! Liked · Nothing! Disliked · I booked 5 rooms for 9 people. We were touring Scotland on motorcycles, and we are not very picky, as long as the accomodation is comfy and clean. And boy did this place disappoint! The room I was in had extensive mould on the ceiling in both the bedroom area and bathroom, as had all the rooms. Both shower doors were hanging off, there was a foot gap at the top when the 2 doors were closed! I placed a bag on a shelving unit in the room and it fell to pieces literally! The TV was smashed where somebody had physically broken the screen. Everyone of the rooms were covered in mould. A number of the rooms were infested with ants! And it gets better! 2 of the guys entered their room to be met with a durex wrapper on the floor and dried blood on the carpet and floor! Curtains were falling down in all of the rooms. There was so much more wrong but I would have to publish this review in volume form! We have stayed in a lot of hotels over the years, with absolutely no complaints, but never in our wildest nightmares thought we would grace such a hellhole! It was evident none of the rooms were never cleaned prior to our stay and the bedsheets were not changed. How this place is not closed as a health hazard is beyond me! Needless to say we did not even consider breakfast the next morning as we could not wait to leave. I normally would check reviews before booking hotels for our trip, but this location was a last minute change. I would be very dubious about the origin of any review that appears to compliment this dive! Do not even contemplate staying here if you value your health!
