Room was in a poor state. Missing shower tiles, cracks in walls and ceiling (some cracks filled with rolled up newspaper). I think a building inspector would close this place down.

Quiet location, dining at the pub was yummy, great menu, good prices, great service. Hotel room - only provided soaps, no shampoo/conditioner. Window was blacked out so could only see outside if you opened the door.
