6/10 Okay

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was a good size and pretty clean. Usual amenities were provided. The reception was tiny and the receptionist seemed more focussed on her phone than greeting guests. I appreciate though it was very quiet and the reception area is a great environment to work on. The internal areas are very tired (not to mention the outside) and it’s not the most welcoming of places sadly.
