My only excuse is that I was desperate. I had only a few hours notice
to go to London and needed a room with guaranteed parking and near a tube, not easy in London on a budget. Everywhere seemed to be booked full apart from this fleapit, now I know why.
On opening my room door I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, whichever I was stuck with it, I'd been on the road since 3am and it was now 4pm. Let's do good & bad points.
Good: Parking, location and. staff (they are Polish surprise, surprise and for some utterly weird reason, they are cheerful),
Bad:- Room, Stank, to high heaven, I retched and then went out for air fresheners. Filthy window blinds, mm's deep in dirt and dust. Filthy sticky carpets, no way was I taking my shoes off. Filthy stinking bedsheets and they had just been put on! Furniture that a vagrant would not bother to rescue from a skip. Sockets hanging loose out of the wall. Four lights, one worked. The horrible feeling you are sharing your bed with a million things you shouldn't be. I kept my clothes on and slept badly.
Bathroom:- Cistern hanging loose from the wall. Broken tiles, broken bath, no basin plug, broken window, filthy stinking shower curtain. the room was so dirty I decided not to wash and to stay dirty, there was less risk to my health.
Breakfast:- No chance! I have 3 kids to feed and a life to look forward to, I passed.
There is a pub/disco downstairs that is as rough as fcuk, I very nearly bought some of the drugs on offer to help me through the night ahead in my stinking hole. I got drunk because I spent so long in there trying to put off going to bed.
Honestly, people sleeping rough in London are sleeping better than you would if you stayed here. I stayed in the Royal National recently that also has some bad reviews, ok it has it's faults but it is a palace compared to the Spring Park and it was only £20 a night more and right next to the British Museum.
I would not stay there again, I'd rather sleep in a skip, a skip full of fish heads and broken televisons, I would not stop there again if they paid me the room fees!
No matter what circumstances you find yourself in DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL!
