Liked: Staff & service
The staff were very helpful, friendly and efficient. The room though was very disappointing. We were aware that we would have single beds, we did not know that one bed would be against the double headboard and the other stranded under the window. The bed in question did not have a headboard or legs. We did move it but without legs it was significantly lower than the other bed. The best thing i can say about breakfast was the coffee was ok. Overall the hotel was well worn and in need of a refresh.
