The Stay Company, Friar Gate

Jul 23rd, 2022

(Translated by Google) It is built as a quiet residential complex. The interior facilities are also fully equipped, clean and comfortable. There are various shops and convenience facilities nearby, and it's good to have Markiton Park nearby, and you can access downtown Derby on foot in about 10 minutes. (Original) . . , , 10 .

I stayed here for a night. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and found the accomodation to be a good alternative to a hotel or B&B. The accomodation with all of its amenities is fair priced and provides a good level of value for money. The staff are extremely helpful and welcoming, and I would happily recommend this place to anyone wishing to stay for a short term break or for a business trip. I would of rated this place 5 stars, however the overall cleanliness of the property provided was not up to scratch or expectations. Kitchen surfaces were sticky and had not been properly cleaned, some of the provided pots and pans had food residue from previous uses within them, there was litter from previous residents/guests within the bedroom and some low level surfaces within the bathroom and bedroom had dust and were grimey. Whilst I understand 3 stars is a harsh score for what I found, I feel it is justified for the additional cleaning I had to do upon arrival and I feel during the times we currently find ourselves in, the standard of cleaning needs to be second to none to provide guests with a level of confidence.

Stayed here during the summer for approximately 6 weeks with my partner. Although it was a spacious apartment, there were some serious cleaning issues. Cleaning crew would take approximately 15 mins to vacuum and lightly wipe down surfaces then finally take out the trash. When my partner arrived the milk was about to expire the next day and utensils had old food caked on. Wifi would drop and the 5G available would also drop for about 2 hours at a time. Getting packages is difficult if you are trying to get anything out of normal business hours for them. Things got worse when a pipe started leaking and luckily we were leaving for the weekend because it was not fixed until Saturday and it broke Thursday afternoon. I would not recommend if you stay past a week. I think short term it would have been an okay stay.
