Room looked tired and run down, dark and smelt. Fridge wasn’t working and a power point that was not even safe to use. Areas of room weren’t cleaned properly just to mention the main faults. Upon checking in staff were not helpful at all and clearly did not want to be there. All in all a very bad experience.
