Liked: Cleanliness
Very average.
We arrived at lunchtime, but no food was available at the cafe. Breakfast, which was booked via e mail, but not confirmed, was not available until 09.00 when it was advertised as 08.30. Since we had a funeral to attend at 10.00 this was no use to us. The room was clean but the bathroom smelt of drains and the blind would not completely lower. Since the hotel is on the main road, this was tricky!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Arrived at 17.00. No staff. Main door locked. Codes for main door and room sent during the day by e.mail unknown to me. Got help from adjacent cafe. Once inside the main facilities were good. Found irons and boards in corridor. Unfortunately, the 1st iron did not get hot and the 2nd fused the main power when plugged in. No staff to report to. Could be a very dangerous situation. Never saw a member of the hotel staff at any time during our stay. We checked out at the stipulated time 10.00.
