The girl on reception when checking in was really helpful and easily the best staff member we encountered. After that, things were very average. The room looked tired an in need of some love as it had stains on the carpet and felt flat in colour. Breakfast was very poor service, with only 4 tables to serve the 2 staff struggled to offer any level of service. If you throw in how much they charge per room, this is definitely a hotel trading on location and historical levels of quality. Not worth the money and there’s better places nearby for less
