The cleanliness of the room was not great on arrival, very stained carpet, couple of marks on the bed sheets, and a drain smell from the shower. Bed was actually pretty comfortable and room was quiet. There was a problem at check-in, the hotel had not received our booking, but they sorted this pretty quickly.
