Matress was old, terrible draught through windows, no hot water in the morning, terrible signal on tv for most chanels. Tiles broken in bathroom. It’s just an old hotel in need of serious renovation. Room clean and staff polite and helpful. Feel for the staff- as the issues are beyond their control.
