Shows how busy hotel it is.
It is acceptable for the price, the rooms are not so dayed but still you can smell the overuse, it feels as a very busy hotel.

Have stayed here three times in the last 9 months. Maybe this time we were just unlucky with our room but the base of the beds were filthy and stained. Have no idea what it was and do t really want to think about what it was but it made you not want to get into bed. The carpet was dirty and the breakfast area was also stained badly where the cushioning goes up the walls.

All is very good indeed. I'm impressed with how much is included, ironing board, tissues, good label cosmetics, etc. Only a tiny niggle.. I think that a loo roll needs to be at least 3/4 full, or even 1/2, because a visitor shouldn't have to have to replenish it. Also, there's one area of damage/grime in Room 215, near the loo door threshold. However, ud still give 9 out if 10! Thank you. margistar@gmail.com
