No one at receptor 4.pm on Saturday afternoon. Had to call and wait. Room needed to be aired. I unpleasant smell. Bathroom tiles moldy. Both bedside lamps didn’t work. No milk for coffee/ tea. Room basically right on busy road with loud traffic outside. Not an expensive room but very poor for the price.

Basic accommodation, maybe reasonable for the price. Staff transactional, bedside lamp didn’t work, toilet roll inaccessible behind the toilet. Electric blanket welcome - split system on 30 but barely warmed the room.
