The Bruce Hotel

The photo on the booking site I used were ok and the price was good. However when I checked in for one night even though there was a double bed the room was tiny. The upholstery on the chair in the room was so dirty I wouldn’t anything on it let alone sit on it. The room was extremely unloved With ring marks on all the surfaces and very dark. The bathroom was clean but very tired with cracked tiles on the floor. The shower was little more than a trickle. It was so small I couldn’t outstretch my arms either way. That said the bed linen was clean and I did sleep relatively well. I understand the limitations Covid has made. However other than breakfast there were no facilities at the hotel. I had been travelling for 6 hours and the bar was closed as well as the restaurant. Also the public areas were unavailable. All of this made my stay all the more unpleasant. I was directed to the nearest restaurant which was a Weatherspoons 3 minutes walk from the hotel. I was a little nervous as I was a single female and didn’t know the area. Such a shame as with a lot of investment it could be a great hotel.
