St. Margaret's Church

Our two night stay at Holly House, was the best we’ve had for a long time, Dee the landlady was lovely, her breakfast was five star 🙏👌

The property was average - communal areas were modern, bright and clean however, the rooms are old and dated and not particularly clean. There was no offer of an upgrade at check-in, I was sent an offer to upgrade for extra cost by the hotel prior to travel. The room did not have a fridge, we asked to move to a room with one, as my friend needed to store medication, but there was no availability for the 2 nights stay.

Due to me not fully reading their email, I had to wait on the sidewalk with all my luggage prior to entering the building while I provided them identification and made a payment as a deposit. I was stressed out and not happy so my awareness of the apart-hotel and my surroundings were heightened. The House of Fisher definitively knows what they are doing when it comes to hospitality. That's why I was surprised to noticed that neither the building nor my apartment felt clean. The apartment felt a lot better after I fully vacuumed it. I found a purple muscle warmer left in the microwave. When I was attempting to retrieve the key to the apartment from the key holder, a misguided creature lingered behind the door of one of the other apartments nearby making drug dealer noises. I was about to lose it. There was no privacy in the apartment. The blinds on the windows did not provide much; yes, fish in a tank. The area was noisy, polluted, with constant traffic of drug dealers, illegal siren users (why do it only by my windows?) and psycho bikers. The apartment had a medieval plumbing in the bathroom. Using the sink, shower or flushing the toilet triggered an overwhelmingly unpleasant noise. Drug dealers camping in the apartment next to mine attempted to use that noise to try to communicate with me at least twice a day. After I blocked any view through gaps on the entrance door and windows and sound proofed the apartment, I had some peace. My stay could've been much better.
