Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Needs closing for complete refurbishment. Staff do their best but rooms and corridors very tired. Been painted over (including light switches ). Bar and breakfast area on closer inspection is filthy (dust, food stains and spillages, crumbs don’t cleaned).bed and mattresses uncomfortable. It’s a right dump.
