Dirty sofa

Our room faced onto Chapel Street and was noisy Friday night due to the nightclub nearby. Hotel in general was very good, facilities fine, staff friendly and helpful. Our room sofa was showing its age and looked dirty, we did not sit on it.

Rooms not good for family’s

Rooms were very clean and beds were comfortable, i had requested a travel cot when i booked but when we got there were told there was no space in the room for a travel cot and asked if my 2 year old would be able to sleep on the sofa bed, fortunately we had took our own travel cot just incase and managed to squeeze it in, when we got to the room there was no bedding for the sofa bed for my oldest child even though we had checked in 4 hours after check in time and had to go back down to reception to ask for it, the remote for the tv was not working and there was dirty water in the sink apart from that the room was clean, was ok for one night but wouldn't stay here again.
