Good food but the room needed an upgrade

The room was poor quality, as the sofa bed was worn and did not look very clean. The carpet was stained in places. The bed was terrible, as the base sections were not fitted together and it was very uncomfortable. The quilt was showing at one corner where the cover was ripped and looked dirty. On a positive note all the staff were very helpful and made sure we had a good dinner and breakfast service.
