Give it a miss!
This 'Hotel' is merely a hostel which is overpriced, dirty and little if any cleaning done whilst we were out. Beds, carpets etc were not clean and the electric sockets and lighting were faulty. limited on street parking out front. On the good side the room had plenty of room for 5 people. Overall i'd struggle to give it 1 ☆ !!

Came here with 3 other friends, we enjoyed this as we could all be in one room together. The room was a good size for the amount of people but was not in the best condition. There was a chair but if you were to sit on this, the back would fall off. The bedsheets were clean but the mattress wasn’t. The shower had mould and the bathroom was not clean. We did report the unclean bathroom to reception and one man came and used the shower to rinse the bath. Then a lady came and mopped the floor. This was fine for the one night but I wouldn’t come back again/ stay for longer than a night.

cheap for city-centre - for a reason.
Broken fire-window at the top of the landing, gaffer-taped up throughout our stay. Also the room wasn't clean - previous guest contact lense case on the floor, and none of the bedside light bulbs worked - only the main light. only breakfast option was cereal and toast, but the dining room was clean.

Absolute Shambles
The hotel was like a maze and extremely hard to navigate. The elevator was old and tiny as it could only fit a maximum of 3 people. Our room was not in the greatest condition, the light at our bed was falling off the wall, the radiator was leaking and the bed was falling apart at the sides, peeling apart. The service from the receptions staff was fine but the room cleaning service was appalling. On our first morning the cleaner came and knocked on the door which was fine but I was just out a shower so I had asked her if she could come back in 5 so I could put clothes on. She left and did not return the full day. Morning 2 and this time me and my girlfriend had not long woken up it was roughly 9:30am this time it was a different cleaner. She did not knock and ask if we required any help she had risky just barged in the door and I asked her to leave as we were not even clothed. I had reported the leaking radiator to reception and was told as it was a Sunday there was no maintenance personnel on shift but he had offered us a new room which was just across the hall. I declined as we only had 1 night left till we checked out and it was too much of a hassle to pack up to move across the hall for a few hours. Overall my stay was disappointing and I feel like I must have been overcharged for the stay I had and for the experience. I will not be using McClay’s Guest House ever again unless it is upgraded.
