"I am being generous with a 2/5 rating.
We were in a 'suite' but I would use that term loosely as though there was a manky looking grey sofa bed, across from a chipped desk with a fridge incorporated, it was unlike any other 'suite' for the money
The big screen TV was good with a quirky colour light but had a loose cord the other half had to adjust to use it.
The purple and cream carpet needed either pulled up completely, or a decent steam clean, I wouldn't just wear socks across it, let alone bare feet. You could see two vomit marks, they had tried to clean but that were still loitering regardless.
There were what I hope was tikka, or orange rust stains and not poo near the end of the bed and a small brown blood dot near the chair. I didn't look too closely at any other blind and carpet stains thereafter as I already was desperate to leave. So much so, I was pricing other hotels despite knowing it was bought and paid for.
The bed had an electric switch to raise it up and down which was just weird and made it difficult to turn round on as the covers slid.
There were six windows round the room which would roast you in the sun but made it cold in winter. We had to take down the shades and blinds for both privacy and heat.
The view was of derelict ground, rotten fencing and a building with bits peeling off of it. In saying that, it's a super location for restaurants and shops.
Then the bathroom. Oh my sainted aunt!
There is no door. Anyone on the chair adjacent made you feel like you had no privacy, or a guard on watch. They could hear everything.
The sink unit was good and had made use of space for; tissues, glasses, iron/board, hairdryer etc but the shower and toilet doors were so flimsy, for anyone else it was like being in the loo with you. There were also spaces by the door edging and lock where people could see in. So, you must remember to close the blinds.
Water from the shower was pulling at one corner of the loo, just by a little but if that seal goes, enough.
The shower floor had been white but was stained yellow.
What I liked; the hairdryer was good, the shower was hot and the 'over worked' cleaning team, were constantly busy but friendly when you passed.
The safe was good and the loo flushed well.
Breakfast was mediocre. Not what you need when you have no kettle in the room. The orange juice was cheap, jams and so forth uncovered and a few of the chairs were left sticky by kids because of it.
The coffee machines on Day 1 were super dirty with splashes of drinks up them (that had been there more than one day) but seemed to be cleaned after the young lad and staff member with the beard had their shift as they paid attention. Tables were cleared more quickly that day too and given a once over with a clean cloth.
Dirty cups were left by the coffee machine and dirty plates by clean ones. I spilled a little tea on the floor (as with milk in, the water went too high) but told someone who did go to clean it eventually. Black tables had glass rings on them that were ignored,if not ingrained.
I had a bit of toast and someone had left three bits of toast in and by the machine. I went for another slice of toast five minutes later and they were still there. Staff should be checking these things.
A team member only noticed the coffee machine was broken when I told them and one long haired staff member hummed and haughed when I asked if I could please go past her to pop a teabag in the bin. She then planted her clearing trolley right by where I sat so I had to squeeze past which was either thoughtless, or via lack of training.
In the dark with Halloween decorations, I'm sure 'Vega' looks better as decorated and with competent staff it could be a good venue.
I liked that there were lots of fire safety appliances in the corridors, that the hotel would hold your bag until check in, however, that's not enough to make me ever want to return here.
A guy in the lift told us he was charged £85 for a two hour day stay. I was just jealous he got to leave in two hours."
