Hugh, Apr 2026
The staff, bar and restaurant and reception were all good. The room was a real let down. Apart from the depressing colour scheme and hideous mauve chairs brown furniture cracked bathroom tiles I could go on; the fact that the floor was so uneven that the bed sloped badly and had to sleep with my head at the foot of the bed was nt great. It was spotless though.
