Won’t stay again, sorry staff you did your best

Food, staff, cleanliness were all good. The location very close to a roundabout on a major trunk road very very noisy. The whole place was tatty, stained seats in the dining room, torn carpet at the entrance, odds bits of poorly repaired items in the room, some bits not repaired. My mattress was far far far too soft and uncomfortable.
