Our room upon check in was awful, if you've watched saturday nite live, we had the Doneese of rooms.fixtures were corroded, the water didn't get hot, the toilet didn't flush, and the tv didn't work. We requested a new room in the morning and when returned in the afternoon, we got one of the pretty sisters. The same room, where the fixtures shone, the window opened, there was hot water and all was shiny and new!! I don't know what the first room is for, but it shouldn't be for paying guests. Breakfast was lovely, coffee was very good, and staff was friendly.

Rooms tidy but bathroom needs tlc(shower basin worn out, mould in the silicon). Kept awake from 3am. Banging sounds and what sounded like trolleys being rolled around. I assume it was the kitchen. Literally had 3 hrs sleep. Booked the hotel for the reason of wanting a good nights sleeps.
