Stuart

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was incredibly disappointing. Small, dark and very depressing. The carpets in the corridors leading to the rooms were very old and tired with some form of white spillage/treatment stain(?) at frequent spots. I spoke to a member of staff who did upgrade to a much nicer bigger room with windows for which we were incredibly grateful. If she was unable to do this I think we would have just checked out and left as this would have indeed been a soulless experience of a stay
