wide selectionmouldy net curtainsdirty paintwork
the breakfast was acceptable , it had a wide selection of items.
room 34 was not a delight , it faced a dirty wall and some sort of yard. the net curtains were mouldy , a real fashion statement , and the paintwork seemed to have had a disagreement with cleanliness , exhibiting greasy marks.

Okay Stay, Some Issues Though

helpful staffvaried breakfastcomfortable bedfull car parkold roomunheated pool
THE staff was super friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the breakfast. It had good variety. the hotel's location was convenient for getting around. The bed was EXTREMELY comfortable, i slept well.
THE car park was full when i arrived, that was annoying. The room smelled a bit old, I think the carpets need to be replaced. The pool wasn't heated well and my child felt cold, we didn't enjoy it much.
