My stay was ok but in general it looks like no maintenance has been performed on the property in many years. No plants in plant boxes outside rooms, rotting facia boards, bad smell from pipes...
Good simple room for a nights stay, in town for an event with kids. Bathroom door didnt pull closed , latch to lock was only on inside but wasnt an issue. Area was quiet. Shower pressure was soooo good.

Very jaded , needs refurbishment, fridge frozen solid, unanle to get ice, we stayed for 7 ays nofresh towels etc during ths time
Would be good if there was a microwave in the room. The shutters alone don't make the room dark enough to sleep in. We had to put a black blanket up to keep the lights from the car park out of pur room to sleep.
Dusty blinds and light fittings. Shower gel bottle was empty. Suggest blockout blinds due to hotel carpark lights on all night.
Convenient location, great food in bistro.

Good location. The property needs some good renovation, very old, a little bit dirty. Sink is too small to use, impossible to fit in kettle to get water.
