The staff were amazing very friendly and great service Unfortunately the room did not look anything like the photos. There was a disgusting stained blind, mould in bathroom and on the sprinkler. It was an old room it was clean but old and in much need of a re vamp. The room we were in was by the road so was very noisy. and some works were happening on the night drilling and banging.(not the hotels fault). Unfortunately would not stay again.
