This hotel needs a complete overhaul. The beds were squishy, the fittings in the room ancient. The breakfast buffet was overpriced, not much selection and inedible. The carpets were gross. It was a very negative experience

The staff were nice and helpful. The room was spacious. However, the bed wasn’t properly made, there were a lot of dead bugs on the blind in the bathroom area, not all of the lights worked, and the tv kept dropping its network connection making watching anything impossible.
