The room felt quite dated and wasn’t as clean as expected, and the pool area also seemed poorly maintained. While the bed was comfortable and the hotel itself quiet, the overall experience was disappointing. Breakfast was average at best.

Room was quite dirty and basic. I shared photos with the General Manager who was sympathetic said that it was unacceptable and would be putting it right. It’s a shame as the public areas are in good order. I would describe the hotel as a bit tired and needing upgrades but no excuse for dirty switches, room furniture and rusty pedal bins.
