Hotel was fully booked. We were in a room outfitted for someone in a wheelchair. We have stayed in rooms like that before and all was well, but this one was different. The trash can foot pedal was cruddy and broken, a rack?/handle bar was missing from the wall (exposing sharp brackets), the tile on the bathroom floor had been sloppily painted over and was peeling off in spots, caulk was peeling off, etc. What all this peeling revealed were stains and discoloration underneath. It was yucky. When we attempted to share this feedback upon check out, the receptionist was quick to tell us that the damage was from wheelchairs. She acted like she did not care what we had to say. Regardless of the cause, the appearance was not acceptable. Otherwise breakfast was ok (but crowded) and we didn't experience noise through walls that others have reported. It was an ok stay overall.

What the website and hotel offered was an accessible room, what we got that was a room not as described by the website, the photos depicted large open room of high quality and what we were given was a dinghy room in desperate need of cleaning and refurbishing.

Great location, looks a little tired in places. Need to move the smoking location as its right outside the front door as with someone who has a lung condition not ideal having to walk through cigarette smoke to get to hotel. Car park was tight and not alot of spaces. Room was OK bed comfortable although alot of noiss from doors slamming (need soft close mechanism on doors) Breakfast was a good selection and very nice, fresh.
