Staff was friendly. Room was ok but when I moved the bed found there to be rubbish under bed including a cotton ear bud! And no soap or shower gel provided. Really wanted to love this place and it was going well until the no soap and rubbish under the bed were found.
We have stayed here several times, the staff are helpful and friendly, great value for money, we will continue to use this hotel when visiting Carlisle
