The beds were wonderful, the room was larger than expected and the people were very nice. I look forward to seeing what this hotel will be like after it’s renovated and has beautiful hanging baskets outdoors. It definitely needs some TLC! Adding an espresso maker for good coffee would also be a plus hint hint ;-)

Edford room needs redecorating and fixing of many broken or faulty items. Bathroom the worst area with lots of faults. Noise from area below was annoying. Breakfast time limited, poached eggs were all hard and not offered orange juice, which should have been included.
