Staff were lovely, and I found my room clean.
The shower had terrible pressure, and it was difficult to rinse properly. When I booked I did ask for a double bed and a single, I received three single beds. It wasn't what I expected.

the staff were friendly, acceptable.
the room felt quite dated, perhaps not renovated since the 1980s (it seemed). the old, musty wardrobe and aged carpets were disappointing. visible repairs in the room seemed amateurish and unattractive.
