Needs a refresh in places

Hotel feels tired and has a not so great smell. Bathroom really cramped. Room wasn’t serviced as requested, but reception friendly and helpful. Doors banging shut made the walls wobble and can hear other gets on the phone etc… Parking is a real squeeze, but at least they have some. Bed was comfy.

Comfortable bed. POORLY insulated room .Adjacent rooms snoring all night. Room was in a courtyard .Public walk way had full view of room/ bed when opened . Strange curtain arrangement , on the inside , to cover door/ window .Bathroom door would not close ,due to warped door frame . Female bar person persisted in throwing , loudly, empty bottles in bin under the bar counter .. Breakfast and breakfasts staff , excelent .

The staff were really, really nice and helpful. I can’t praise them enough. The room was reasonably clean, as was the bathroom. However, the plumbing was not so good, particularly the toilet cistern, which had issues. Bathroom fittings in need of major upgrade. One thing is that the place advertises parking for guest. However, spaces are limited and on return in the late afternoon from one trip away, I returned to find no parking spaces. I had to park on the street in a a spot with restrictions. I had to get up early the next day to move it in order to prevent myself from getting a ticket.
